Israel has received a shipment of heavy MK-84 bombs from the United States, after Trump lifted a block imposed on the export of the munitions by the administration of his predecessor, Joe Biden, the defence ministry said on Sunday.
The MK-84 is an unguided 2,000 pound bomb, which can rip through thick concrete and metal, creating a wide blast radius.
The Biden administration declined to clear them for export to Israel out of concern about the impact on densely populated areas of the Gaza Strip.
