US State Department signs off on $7.4 billion arms sale to Israel

The United States announces the approval of a more than $7.4 billion sale of bombs, missiles and related equipment to Israel.

The State Department has signed off on the sale of $6.75 billion in bombs, guidance kits and fuzes, in addition to $660 million in Hellfire missiles, according to the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency.

A source familiar with the matter told The Times of Israel in January that then-US president Joe Biden’s administration had informally notified Congress of the proposed arms deal, which includes munitions for fighter jets and attack helicopters alongside artillery shells.
