The U.S. Department of Defense on Monday notified Congress of the
647 million U.S. dollar deal to provide the Israel Air Force ( IAF) with
precision munitions depleted during the "Operation Pillar of Defense" in
Gaza last month.
The IAF reportedly used up much of its high-precision munitions in
more than a thousand bombing sorties against Hamas rocket- launching
crews, weapons caches and other assets of militant groups operating in the
coastal enclave, in order to minimize civilian casualties and collateral
damage.
The U.S. Department of Defense said the deal includes the supply of
some 7,000 Joint Attack Munitions kits, which convert " dumb" bombs
into satellite-guided "smart" munitions, as well as an equal number of
BLU-109 and GBU-39 bunker-buster bombs, the Ha' aretz daily said on its
website.
It was not clear whether bunker-buster bombs, intended for striking
heavily-fortified underground targets, were used during the eight-day
campaign to halt incessant rocket fire toward Israel.
