www.bbc.com US reveals it paused shipment of bombs for Israel over Rafah concerns
A bomb shipment was halted last week over concerns Israel was going ahead with a Rafah offensive.
The shipment consisted of 1,800 2,000lb (907kg) bombs and 1,700 500lb bombs, the official told CBS News, the BBC's media partner in the US.
Israel has not "fully addressed" US concerns over humanitarian needs of civilians in Rafah, the official says.
Israel made no immediate comment.

It's as unfortunate as can be that Netanyahu has such a grip on Israel. Kind of like Trump having a grip on America. Two of the worst people on the planet.
