US plans $320 million weapons transfer to Israel

The Biden administration is planning a 320 million dollar transfer of precision bombs for Israel, arranging a major weapons deal as President Biden and senior officials press Israel to do more to protect civilians in its military campaign in Gaza.

The administration sent formal notification on Oct. 31 to congressional leaders of the planned transfer of Spice Family Gliding Bomb Assemblies, a type of precision-guided weapon fired by warplanes, according to correspondence viewed by The Wall Street Journal.
