The United States has sent significant quantities of bombs to Israel, particularly since the onset of the Gaza conflict on October 7, 2023. According to available information, the U.S. has transferred at least 14,000 MK-84 2,000-pound bombs and 6,500 500-pound bombs, among other munitions, between October 2023 and June 2024. This equates to:[](https://www.reuters.com/world/us-has-sent-israel-thousands-2000-pound-bombs-since-oct-7-2024-06-28/)[](https://aoav.org.uk/2024/us-has-sent-israel-14000-two-thousand-pound-bombs-since-october/)
- **14,000 × 2,000-pound bombs** = **28,000,000 pounds**
- **6,500 × 500-pound bombs** = **3,250,000 pounds**
Additionally, other munitions like 1,000 bunker-buster bombs, 3,000 Hellfire missiles, and 2,600 small-diameter bombs have been supplied, but their specific weights are less consistently documented. The total weight of these bombs alone is **31,250,000 pounds**. [](https://www.reuters.com/world/us-has-sent-israel-thousands-2000-pound-bombs-since-oct-7-2024-06-28/)
Precise figures for all munitions are hard to verify due to limited public disclosure, as the U.S. provides less detailed reporting on aid to Israel compared to other countries like Ukraine. If you need a breakdown of other munitions or more recent data, I can search for additional information. Would you like me to do that?[](https://www.reuters.com/world/us-has-sent-israel-thousands-2000-pound-bombs-since-oct-7-2024-06-28/)[](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/08/world/middleeast/us-israel-weapons.html)
