U.S. Approves Sale Of $320 Million In Precision Bombs For Israel To Eliminate Hamas | Eastern North Carolina Now

    The United States has authorized the sale of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of equipment for precision bombs to Israel as the country fights to eradicate Hamas after last month's terrorist attacks.

    The Biden administration sent the formal notification to Congress on October 31 of its authorization to allow the sale of $320 million worth of Spice Family Gliding Bomb Assemblies, which are weapons kits that turn unguided bombs into precision guided bombs, to Israel. The order comes on top of another order for the same kits that was valued at over $400 million that the Trump administration sought congressional approval for in 2020.

    The Israeli-owned Rafael Advanced Defense Systems is purchasing the equipment directly from Rafael USA, an American company that has ties to Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, and not through the U.S. government.

    The weapons transfer comes after Hamas, an Islamic terrorist organization that is backed by Iran, launched an unprecedented terrorist attack on October 7, murdering 1,400 Israelis, wounding 5,300+, and kidnapping more than 240.

    Some of the stories and images that emerged from the attacks were among the most barbaric acts of violence imaginable, including cutting a baby out of its mother's womb, stabbing the baby to death in front of the mother, and then shooting the mother in front of the rest of her family before killing her remaining children.

    Israel has responded to October 7 attack by launching ferocious bombing campaigns on Hamas targets inside of Gaza. Israel later began its ground operations inside Gaza as it seeks to root out the terrorist organization for good.


    The precision kits will go on the bombs currently in Israel's arsenal - mostly 1,000- and 2,000-pound bombs which are among the largest and most powerful used by any military in the world, according to a report from The New York Times.

26 days after the October 7th Terror attacks on Israel, where over 1400 Jewish men, women and children were gruesomely murdered, and hundreds more made hostage: Should the Biden /Harris administration finally state that the administration's primary Middle East negotiating partner, Iran, is behind the funding and strategy of the aggressors, the Hamas Terrorists, or continue to take the more moderate position of "Don't," which is clearly not working?

  Yes, name Iran as the funding /strategy culprit, and begin to enforce the President Trump era sanctions to END Iran's ability to prosecute this war against Israel and the United States.

  No, Iran is a valuable partner in the motives of the Biden / Harris administration, and must not be named as the culprit and our enemy.

  I have larger concerns just to survive in this economy.
