The latest planned shipment contains air-to-air missiles, Hellfire missiles, artillery shells and bombs, the US official said.

A source familiar with the sale told the BBC on Saturday: "The president has made clear Israel has a right to defend its citizens, consistent with international law and international humanitarian law, and to deter aggression from Iran and its proxy organisations.
