The United States halted shipments of bombs to Israel amid concerns about their potential use in the Rafah incursion, according to a US official.

The shipment, which was intercepted last week, included 1,800 2,000-pound bombs and 1,700 500-pound bombs.

“We are primarily focused on the end use of the 2,000-pound bomb and its impact in dense urban areas like we have seen in other parts of Gaza,” the official said.
CNN reported over the weekend that one shipment of ammunition to Israel had been paused, but the reason was unclear.

Israeli leaders have warned for weeks that an invasion of the southern Gaza city of Rafah would happen at some point in the future, even though the US and others have publicly stated that such a ground operation should not happen. The Biden administration has called for a comprehensive plan to protect the more than a million civilians sheltering in Rafah and prevent an expansion of the humanitarian disaster unfolding in coastal areas.
