The United States is set to send thousands of munitions to "Israel," Zeteo reported on Friday as the ongoing genocide in Gaza now nearing its 11th month.

The State Department has also notified Congress of a direct sale of 6,500 Joint Direct Action Munitions (JDAMs) to "Israel" valued at $262 million, Zeteo added.

The sale, which was reportedly delayed in May pending review, has now been approved.

The US-made munitions have been used in a series of Israeli massacres in Gaza, including in the recent bombing of the al-Mawasai tent city sheltering forcibly displaced Palestinians, killing over 90 people and wounding around 300.

According to a report by CNN on Friday, citing sources close to the matter, the White House has decided to release $3.5 billion in funding for "Israel" to purchase US-made weapons and military equipment.

The fund is part of a broader $14.1 billion foreign military package approved by Congress in April.

While many weapons and systems require years to be delivered, the supplemental aid package has also allocated funds for equipment that the Pentagon can draw from its stockpiles, enabling faster delivery.

This comes the same week as footage of Israeli occupation forces (IOF) sexually abusing a Palestinian prisoner from Gaza at the notorious Israeli concentration camp Sde Teiman was leaked.

Additionally, the United States decided on Friday not to impose sanctions on the infamous Israeli Netzah Yehuda battalion, which is accused of crimes in the occupied West Bank even by Washington. The human rights violations included sexual assault and beating a number of elderly Palestinians to death after detaining them. Among the victims was a 78-year-old Palestinian-American man.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken informed Israeli Security Minister Yoav Gallant that the US investigation was concluded, and found that the battalion has been “effectively remediated.”
