According to reports, the bombs "are in the process of being shipped" and could arrive in Israel in coming weeks.
The US will soon ship weapons and arms that the Biden administration suspended, the WSJ reported Wednesday.
The new shipments ends a two-month pause in weapons deliveries.
Weapons include 500-pound bombs that the Biden administration previously suspended, with the administration citing civilian casualties in Gaza, WSJ noted in their report.
The WSJ report stated that according to estimates, the bombs "are in the process of being shipped" and will arrive in Israel in coming weeks.
However, according to reports, heavier bombs, including 2,000-pound bombs are still on hold, US officials stated.
The 500-pound bombs a US official said were "co-mingled" with the shipment of 2,000-pound bombs withheld from Israel are "moving forward as part of the usual process," according to a statement to The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday night.
Officials confirm shipment released to Israel as 'part of usual process'....
In a statement to The Post, a National Security Council spokesperson said other than the one shipment with the 2,000lb bombs that has been paused and remains paused, weapons shipments continue to move in due course
Antiwar.com:
: "...The US announced in May that it was withholding the bomb shipments, claiming it was doing so to pressure Israel not to launch a major assault on Rafah without taking into account the around 1.4 million civilians who were sheltering there.
Israel ended up going ahead with the invasion and captured the Rafah border crossing, cutting off a vital channel for aid and strengthening the starvation blockade. The assault on Rafah left the city in rubble, and the majority of the civilians were forced to flee to overcrowded, unsanitary camps, which have been targeted by the Israeli military.
Throughout the assault, the US claimed it was a more limited operation than what Israel initially planned. Despite Israel committing massacres in the city using US-provided weapons, the US continued to support the attack.
The US is now sending the 500-pound bombs at a time when Israel has escalated operations across Gaza, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is working to sabotage the chances of a ceasefire and hostage deal with Hamas.

Biden Administration Giving Lip Service, Seeking to Appear to Oppose Netanyahu, While Continuing to Enable and Assist Him...
This declining support for Israel in the US, especially amongst Biden’s democratic base, is driving factor behind the dynamic which I have simply come to think of as Biden and the Biden administration paying “lip service”, softly rebuking and condemning Netanyahu with rhetoric while continuing to enable and support him materially and funneling more weapons and money to Israel. This will be expanded on in the next article of this series, which will shift focus from Oct 7th, to the genocidal actions and intent since Oct 7th, Israel’s war on the UN, and the geopolitical dynamics and consequences of this “wa
