The United States has approved a $6.75 billion arms sale to Israel, including Hellfire missiles and other weapons, according to the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA). The sale includes 660 Hellfire missiles, classified as "air-to-ground" weapons, and other military equipment. The DSCA stated that the sale will "support the foreign policy and national security of the United States" by strengthening Israel's military capabilities.
The approval of the arms sale comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, with Israel facing ongoing threats from Iran and its proxies. The sale also reflects the close military and strategic partnership between the US and Israel.
