The Biden administration has approved a major $8 billion arms package for Israel, including fighter jet ammunition, artillery shells, and attack helicopter missiles, Israeli news outlet Walla has reported. The approval comes on Saturday amid intensified Israeli attacks in northern Gaza, focusing on the Jabalia Refugee Camp, Beit Lahia, and Beit Hanoun since Oct. 5. Unnamed sources said the US State Department had informally notified Congress about the arms deal, which is expected to be the final package from the outgoing administration before president-elect Donald Trump takes office on Jan. 20.
