“DoD approves sale of bunker buster missiles to Israel”
By YAAKOV KATZ

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The US Department of Defense has notified Congress of a potential sale of 1,000 small diameter bunker-buster missiles to Israel, which would likely be used in the event of a military strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities.

The notification of the possible sale to Congress was made over the weekend by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), the branch of the Pentagon responsible for evaluating foreign military sales. The bunker-buster missile Israel has asked for is called GBU-39.

The deal is valued at $77 million and the principal contractor will be Boeing Integrated Defense Systems.

In addition to the missiles, Israel has also asked for 150 mounting carriages, 30 guided test vehicles as well as two instructors to train the Israei Air Force how to load the missiles on its aircraft.”

Hizbullah Warns Against Attempts To Disarm It

Hizbullah’s foreign relations chief Nawaf Al-Musavi has warned senior Lebanese officials planning to act to disarm it under the national dialogue.

He said that such attempts to disarm Hizbullah, in the guise of “integrating the weapons” into the Lebanese Army, will be in vain.

The national dialogue is to begin next week.
