During President Joe Biden’s administration, the United States supplied Israel with substantial military aid, including large quantities of heavy munitions. Notably, since the onset of the conflict with Hamas on October 7, 2023, the U.S. provided Israel with over 10,000 2,000-pound bombs and thousands of Hellfire missiles.
These 2,000-pound bombs, often referred to as “bunker busters,” are among the most powerful non-nuclear munitions in the U.S. arsenal, designed to penetrate hardened targets. Their deployment has been a subject of international concern due to the potential for significant civilian casualties, especially in densely populated areas like Gaza.
In May 2024, the Biden administration temporarily withheld a shipment of these heavy bombs over concerns about their use in Gaza. However, by June 2024, approximately half of the withheld shipment was released to Israel.
It’s important to note that in January 2025, President Donald Trump reversed the remaining hold, instructing the Pentagon to release the 2,000-pound bombs to Israel.
