The United States is providing large supplies of destructive weapons for Israel’s brutal military campaign against the Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.

The sources said on Tuesday that the US had started loading consignments of GBU (Guided Bomb Unit) and GBU-31 from its air bases in Qatar, Cyprus, Greece and Germany for the purpose of delivery to the Israeli military.

The weapons would be much deadlier than the missiles already used by the Israeli regime to demolish residential areas and civilian infrastructure in Gaza since the regime started its brutal campaign against the small Palestinian territory 11 days ago, the sources said.

An intelligence source stationed in the West Asia region said that the US is also providing Israel with more Tamir missiles used in Israel's Iron Dome missile interception system.

Washington's decision to supply sophisticated weaponry to Israel is aimed at helping the regime overcome a shortage of Tamir missiles.

This comes as Iron Dome has been grappling with barrages of rockets fired from the Gaza Strip since October 7 when the Palestinian resistance group Hamas launched a multi-pronged operation against Israeli settlers and military forces.

Reports from international air traffic control services show the US has dispatched numerous cargo planes from bases in Europe and in the US to destinations in the Israeli-occupied territories over the past few days.

Another source in the Mediterranean region said that the Israeli regime is setting up a maritime version of Iron Dome around offshore Leviathan and Tamar gas fields in the region in anticipation of rocket attacks by Hamas.

Regional countries have warned that the ongoing conflict in Palestine could spread to other areas in the region if Israeli attacks on Gaza, which have left nearly 3,000 people killed, are not stopped.

Governments have also warned that any involvement of third parties in the conflict, including from the side of the US, would cause the war to spiral out of control.
