Biden Sending $320 Million In Precision Bombs To Israel
The U.S. will send hundreds of millions of dollars in precision bomb kits to Israel as the Middle Eastern country continues its retaliation against Hamas terror attacks.
The Biden White House informed Congress last week that the Spice Family Gliding Bomb Assemblies are being sold to Tel Aviv. These are kits valued at $320 million that convert unguided bombs into precision instruments of war.
The New York Times reported the kits will attach to Israel’s current stock of 1,000- and 2,000-pound bombs. These rank among the globe’s deadliest and will certainly be instrumental in the current conflict.
Israel is in a fight to destroy its terrorist enemy after the unprecedented Oct. 7 attacks killed over 1,400 of its citizens — mostly civilians. Everyone from babies to the elderly were indiscriminately targeted in the largest loss of Jewish life since the Holocaust.
As any sane person would expect, the tiny nation responded to the massacre with deadly force.
The sale is not through Washington but between the Israeli Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Rafael USA. Along with the hardware, support, assembly, testing and other necessary infrastructure will be part of the $320 million deal.
The beauty of the precision kits is they convert unguided warheads into instruments with deadly accuracy in the 60-100 kilometer range.
U.S. military technology is readying to flow into Israel. Last week the House approved advancing $14.5 billion in military aid to the American ally.
A potential hitch arose when Senate Democrats and the White House demanded that aid to Israel be directly tied with further military assistance to Ukraine.
Many congressional Republicans are now hesitant over signing off on Biden’s blank check to Kyiv as the war has no end in sight.
The Wall Street Journal reported the latest deal was already in the works before the Oct. 7 massacre. Clearly it gained new importance when roughly 3,000 Hamas terrorists breached Israel’s southern border and went on a murderous rampage.
In other developments, the United Nations on Monday termed Gaza as a “graveyard for children” and marched in lockstep with demands by Hamas for a ceasefire. This ignores the hundreds of children who were killed or taken captive by terrorists last month.
