"The Bush Administration has announced the first officially disclosed sale of US military equipment to Israel since the end of Israel's conflict with Hezbollah guerillas in Lebanon in 2006. In a notice to Congress, the Pentagon's Defence Security Cooperation Agency said Israel had requested as many as 3500 MK-84 "general purpose" bombs, spares and parts plus US government technical assistance in a deal worth up to $US65 million ($77.8 million) if all options are exercised."
