The U.S. Department of Defense, known as the Pentagon, announced on Friday that the State Department has approved potential sales of missiles, ammunition, and other equipment to the Israeli occupation, with a total estimated value of approximately $7.4 billion.
The package includes $6.75 billion worth of munitions and guidance kits, with Boeing as the prime contractor. A separate deal worth $660 million for the sale of Hellfire missiles was also announced, involving Lockheed Martin.
This comes after the Trump administration’s decision last month to lift a suspension on supplying the Israeli occupation with a type of heavy bombs that the Biden administration had imposed.
