US paused bomb shipment to Israel to signal concerns over Rafah invasion, official says
apnews.com
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. paused a shipment of bombs to Israel last week over concerns that Israel was approaching a decision on launching a full-scale assault on the southern Gaza city of Rafah against the wishes of the U.S., a senior administration official said Tuesday.
Biden’s administration in April began reviewing future transfers of military assistance as Netanyahu’s government appeared to move closer toward an invasion of Rafah, despite months of opposition from the White House. The official said the decision to pause the shipment was made last week and no final decision had been made yet on whether to proceed with the shipment at a later date.

When even the US is telling you you are overdoing the whole bombing thing..
Don't they have throwing bombs in their national anthem?
Technically those are describing UK rockets and bombs being being used against a US fort in the war of 1812. But yes.
The U.S. bombs burst in air in the national anthem, which seems less than effective as a method of warfare in the pre-aviation days, but I'm not going to tell the people who won the War of 1812 how to sing a song about it.
The bombs in the anthem are british rockets.
Well then they're the ones with the stupid attack plan.
How stupid it is to airburst rockets depends on the warhead, if its shrapnel or grapeshot then airbursting is the intention.
