In a significant move, the United States has delivered a shipment of MK-84 bombs to Israel late on Saturday. This decision comes after President Trump lifted a Biden-era export block, signaling a shift in U.S. military support.
Despite a recent ceasefire in Gaza, Trump cited the principle of \"peace through strength\" as justification for the decision. The MK-84 is a formidable 2,000-pound unguided bomb, renowned for its ability to penetrate concrete and metal structures, and its extensive blast radius. 💣
However, this move hasn't been met with universal approval. Palestinians in Gaza have condemned the U.S. action, expressing concerns over the escalation of military capabilities in the region.
