Trump administration plans $2.8 billion munitions sale to Israel, sources say

President Donald Trump's administration is planning to sell to Israel a munitions package worth $2.8 billion, which will include tens of thousands of highly destructive 2,000-pound bombs, according to a U.S. official familiar with the sale.

The planned sale, which has been informally communicated to relevant congressional committees who weigh in on large arms sales, includes 20,000 MK 84s and 20,000 BLU-117s, the official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said.

News of ⁠the package was first reported by the Washington Post.

The State Department and the Israeli embassy did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
