Included thousands of smart bombs, AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, and GBU-57 bunker busters, as reported by Stars and Stripes.
The U.S. also provided essential refueling for Israeli aircraft, and deployed B-2 stealth bombers and Navy ships firing Tomahawk missiles, according to South China Morning Post. (Stars and Stripes)
Key details on US-taxpayer supplied weapons to Isreal:
Missiles: Hundreds of US taxpayer paid Hellfire missiles were delivered to Israel just before the conflict.
Aircraft: The Israeli air force utilized US-taxpayer paid F-35, F-22, F-16, and F/A-18 jets, as mentioned on New Arab.
Taxpayer paid Bunker Busters: The US used Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOPs) and 2,000-pound bombs against hardened facilities.
Defense Systems: The US deployed taxpayer-paid THAAD missile defense batteries, with over 150 missiles fired during the conflict.
The Iran operations, referred to as “Operation Epic Fury,” utilized the largest concentration of taxpayer paid US firepower by Israel in a generation. (Stars and Stripes)
