Israel to get 3,000 smart bombs, part of US military aid – reports
November 29, 2014
The US will reportedly be supplying Israel with 3,000 smart bombs, similar to those which killed over 2,100 Palestinians during the latest Israeli operation against Gaza, reported regional media citing the US Department of Defense, said RT.
Funding for the bombs will come from US military aid to Israel, the International Middle East Media Center (IMEMC) reported, adding that the munitions will be paid off by the end of November 2016. The cost of the shipment is estimated to be around $82 million, IMEMC cited local Palestinian agency Al Ray as saying. Media agencies including Haaretz and Press TV reported the announcement, but the information couldn’t be verified with the Department of Defense website, which made no mention of the plans. The shipment of smart bombs, otherwise known as precision-guided munitions, will include the J-Dam system, which works with GPS technology to pinpoint exact target locations, Haaretz reported. The Israeli Air Force used similar bombs this summer during Operation Protective Edge, which killed over 2,100 Palestinians. In the meantime, an increasing amount of evidence has come to light about UK-made military equipment being used by Israel during the recent conflict.
