The strategic alliance between the United States and Israel is strengthened with the recent delivery of a significant quantity of heavy munitions, including the famous MK-84 bombs, known for their exceptional destructive power. The shipment, landed at the port of Ashdod, was subsequently transferred to air bases in the immediate vicinity of Jerusalem, increasing the operational capabilities of the Israeli forces.

The Israeli Defense Minister stressed that the operation not only strengthens Israel's ability to deal with current and future threats, but also confirms the strength of military ties with Washington. Government sources and international analysts point out that this delivery is part of a large package of military assistance provided by the United States to Israel since the beginning of the "Gaza War", which broke out in October 2023 as a result of the Hamas attack on Israel.

Since the early stages of the crisis, Israel has received over 76,000 tons of military equipment, transported via hundreds of air links and naval shipments, demonstrating Washington’s unconditional support. Industry experts stress that these supplies are crucial to maintaining a high level of deterrence and ensuring rapid intervention in an increasingly complex geopolitical context in the Middle East.

The MK-84, part of the MK-80 bomb family, is a key tool in Israeli military operations, thanks to its precision and destructive capabilities, which are key to ensuring national security. The recent delivery of the heavy munitions underscores the United States’ commitment to supporting its closest ally in the Middle East.
