The Biden administration has decided to resume a delayed shipment of 500-pound bombs to Israel, a U.S. official confirmed to the Washington Examiner on Wednesday.

In May, the administration announced it had delayed one shipment of military aid to Israel that consisted of 1,800 2,000-pound bombs and 1,700 500-pound bombs, according to Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder, a Pentagon spokesman. U.S. officials said they had held up the shipment due to concerns over the damage these bombs could inflict if Israel decided to use them in densely populated areas of Gaza, mainly Rafah.
