The United States has stopped sending bombs to Israel

International Desk:  A shipment of bombs from the United States to Israel was not sent last week. The decision was made due to concerns that Israel would launch a full-scale attack on Rafah, according to a report by the news agency AP.

A top US administration official was quoted by the AP as saying that a shipment of bombs had not been sent to Israel. The decision was taken last week not to send the consignment, said the official, who did not want to be named.

Besides, a final decision has not yet been taken on whether the promised arms transfer at a later date will be delivered on time. "We have suspended a shipment of weapons last week," the official said.

Meanwhile, Israel has sent tanks to Rafah, bordering Egypt, ignoring all warnings. In the meantime, the army has taken control of the Rafah crossing or the border. This border has been the main route of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Millions of displaced Palestinians have already taken refuge in Rafah. But Israel has been announcing operations there for several weeks. From the beginning, many countries including the United Nations have warned that Israel's operation could lead to a humanitarian disaster. In several pictures, Israeli flag tanks are seen entering the Palestinian part of Rafah. It has been informed that the operation will be conducted on a limited scale with specific targets.

There are basically two routes for humanitarian aid to enter Gaza. One is Rafa and the other is Keram Shalom. But this entry point has been closed by Israel, said Jens Larke, the spokesperson of the United Nations Humanitarian Office. He also said that there is only one day's worth of fuel in the blockaded areas.
