In a significant move, the US paused a bomb shipment for Israel amid fears of a major ground operation in Rafah, Gaza. The shipment included 1,800 2,000lb bombs and 1,700 500lb bombs. Concerns over civilian casualties and humanitarian needs led to the delay, despite Israel's ongoing conflict with Hamas. The decision reflects growing pressure on President Biden to address the escalating violence. Talks between the US and Israel are ongoing, with the US emphasizing the potential impact of bombs in densely populated areas. The delay underscores US efforts to mitigate civilian harm in Gaza.
