> The Trump administration is preparing a $2.8bn package of 907kg bombs for Israel, including 40,000 munitions and warheads designed to hit hardened underground structures. The proposed sale has drawn criticism over Israel’s use of similar bombs in Gaza and Lebanon, while some US lawmakers say they will seek to block it.
