The Trump administration has asked congressional leaders to approve new transfers of roughly $1bn worth of bombs and other military hardware to Israel, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The planned weapons sales include 4,700 1,000-pound bombs, worth more than $700m, as well as armored bulldozers built by Caterpillar, worth more than $300m, the outlet reports, citing US officials.
The new arms requests come as Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is visiting Washington and set to meet the US president, Donald Trump, on Tuesday to discuss the ceasefire in Gaza, a separate truce in Lebanon and tensions in the wider Middle East region.
