President Joe Biden\u2019s administration will resume shipping 500-pound bombs to Israel but will continue to hold back on supplying 2,000-pound bombs over concerns about their use in densely populated Gaza, a U.S. official said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The U.S. in May paused a shipment of 2,000-pound and 500-pound bombs due to concern over the impact they could have in Gaza during the Israeli invasion.<\/p>\n

The administration\u2019s particular concern had been the use of such large bombs in Rafah, where over one million Palestinians had taken refuge.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been clear that our concern has been on the end-use of the 2,000-lb bombs, particularly for Israel\u2019s Rafah campaign which they have announced they are concluding,\u201d a U.S. official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n

One 2,000-pound bomb can rip through thick concrete and metal, creating a wide blast radius.<\/p>\n

The U.S. official said the 500-pound bombs were put together in the same shipment with the larger ones that were paused and therefore got held up.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur main concern had been and remains the potential use of 2,000 lb bombs in Rafah and elsewhere in Gaza … Because our concern was not about the 500 lb bombs, those are moving forward as part of the usual process,\u201d the official added.<\/p>\n

The U.S. has notified Israel that it is releasing the 500-pound bombs but keeping the hold on the larger ones, a person familiar with the matter said.<\/p>\n
