The US last week paused a bombs’ shipment for Israel over concerns it was going ahead with a major ground operation in Rafah, southern Gaza, a senior administration official says.
The shipment consisted of 1,800 2,000lb (907kg) bombs and 1,700 500lb bombs, the official told CBS News, the BBC’s media partner in the US.
Israel has not “fully addressed” US concerns over humanitarian needs of civilians in Rafah, the official says.
Israel made no immediate comment.
