US precision bombs are being dropped on Rafah

Israel dropped US-made precision bombs on the Rafah refugee camp. According to the conclusion of the experts, the air attack on the Rafah refugee camp of Israel was carried out with the help of American-made ammunition. At least 45 people have been killed and hundreds injured in an attack on a cluster of crowded tents in a city in the southern Gaza Strip.

Explosives experts confirmed to reporters that the video contained remnants of a US-made GBU-39 bomb.

The GBU-39 is a precision-guided munition "designed to attack strategically important point targets". Explosive weapons expert Chris Cobb-Smith told CNN.

Cobb-Smith, a former artillery officer in the British Army, added that using any type of ammunition in a densely populated area is inappropriate and dangerous.

Another weapons expert, Trevor Ball, explained that the ammunition used in the attack on the camp was part of the US GBU-39 bomb.

"The guidance and wing sections of the munitions are often remnants of the munitions explosion. I saw the tail section and immediately knew it was one of the CDB/GBU-39 variants," said Ball, a former member of the US Army's Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team.

Serial numbers found at the scene also matched US bomb makers, CNN reported.

The Pentagon said it did not know what munitions were used against the refugees in Rafah.

"I don't know what kind of ammunition was used in this air attack. Israel's representatives can answer this," Deputy Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh told reporters.

Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari said the airstrike included two small warhead shells containing 17 kilograms of explosives. Hagari also acknowledged the weapons as "the smallest munitions that our [Israeli] aircraft can use."

The US has supported Israel since the invasion of Gaza, supplying it with weapons despite widespread destruction by Israeli forces.

According to AP, on May 15, Biden said that the United States will send more than $1 billion in additional weapons and ammunition to Israel.

Despite reports of tension between Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, a US official told the Washington Post that "weapons deliveries are on schedule."

In March, Biden said the United States would stop selling weapons to Israel if it launched a large-scale attack on Rafah. The White House this week denied that Israel had broken a red line, despite reports that Israeli tanks were stationed in the center of Rafah.
