The US has now supplied some of the Hellfire missiles that Israel requested in the course of the conflict with Hamas this summer.Washington had halted a transfer of the missiles in mid-August, with the State Department saying that weapons shipments to Israel would be undergoing additional review due to the war in Gaza.Supplies of ammunition used by Israeli tanks were also affected by the review procedures, but those and other affected supplies have also now been resumed.

The military supplies, including the Hellfire precision air-to-surface missiles, were not urgently needed for battlefield use.
