This is uniquely significant, as the U.S. administration is bypassing lengthy congressional approval procedures in order to accelerate the delivery of munitions to Israel.<\/p>\n<p>According to journalist Tamir Morag, the deal includes 35,500 heavy bombs of the MK-84 and BLU-110 types. The MK-84 is a bomb weighing nearly a ton, and the BLU-110 is an advanced version with enhanced penetration capabilities.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16195\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16195\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" class=\"size-large wp-image-16195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16195\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gaza after Israeli airstrikes | Photo: Yonatan Sindel\/Flash90<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Greater Operational Freedom in the Ongoing Conflict<\/strong><br \/>\nAdditionally, Israel will receive 4,000 BLU-109 bunker buster bombs, which have previously been critical in major military operations, 4,800 BLU-110 bombs, each weighing approximately 450 kg and 5,000 JDAM guidance kits, which convert unguided bombs into precision weapons.<\/p>\n<p>Shipments are only expected to begin early next year, meaning they will not have an immediate impact on the renewed fighting in Gaza.
