US says it paused shipment of bombs for Israel over Rafah concerns | BBC News


The US last week paused a bomb shipment for Israel over concerns it was going ahead with a major ground operation in Rafah, southern Gaza, a senior administration official said.

The shipment consisted of 1,800 2,000lb (907kg) bombs and 1,700 500lb bombs, the official told CBS News, the BBC’s media partner in the US.

Israel has not "fully addressed" US concerns over humanitarian needs of civilians in Rafah, the official said.

Israel made no immediate comment.
