West Jerusalem has requested 12,000 munitions 1,000 pounds each as the air war with Iran enters its eighth day

The US Department of State has approved an emergency sale of 1,000-pound bombs to Israel, bypassing congressional review.

The contract, worth an estimated $151.8 million, covers 12,000 BLU-110A/B bombs requested by Israel, the department said Friday.

The announcement comes as the US-Israeli air war against Iran enters its eighth day, with both allies vowing to unleash new waves of strikes.

The department said the urgent nature of the matter allows it to forgo congressional review requirements under the Arms Export Control Act.

“This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a strategic regional partner that has been, and continues to be, an important force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East,” the department said.

“The proposed sale will improve Israel’s capability to meet current and future threats, strengthen its homeland defense, and serve as a deterrent to regional threats.”
