Us media: the United States provides ground-penetrating bombs to Israel

According to a recent report in The Wall Street Journal, an anonymous American official said that since the new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict broke out on October 7, the US arms supply to Israel has surged, including about 57,000 artillery shells and about 15,000 bombs, including 100 BLU-109 ground-penetrating bombs, to help the Israeli army fight Hamas. According to reports, the BLU-109 ground-penetrating bomb can penetrate concrete bunkers, which was used by the US military in the war in Afghanistan. Analysts pointed out that Hamas uses a huge network of tunnels in the Gaza, and the Israelis may attack these tunnels with earth-boring bombs.

The report also quoted relevant experts as saying that the United States recently called on Israel to avoid civilian casualties while cracking down on Hamas, but it still provided Israel with all kinds of weapons and ammunition. This is contradictory, and the United States rarely publicly disclosed the quantity and types of weapons delivered to Israel in the current conflict.
