TL;DR Summary

The United States has reportedly provided Israel with "bunker buster" bombs and other munitions for its war on Gaza, including 100 BLU-109 bombs designed to penetrate hardened structures. The US has also sent thousands of other bombs and artillery shells, along with billions of dollars in financial support. The delivery of heavy-duty penetration bombs has raised questions about continued US arms transfers to Israel, as they are being used in a densely populated civilian area. Critics are calling for more transparency and questioning the wisdom of providing these bombs, which could lead to more civilian casualties.
