Halt in Bombings by Biden Administration Could Endanger Israeli Soldiers in Booby-trapped Structures

President Joe Biden’s decision to withhold bombs from Israel will result in more Israeli soldiers being put at risk in booby-trapped buildings, according to a military source in Israel. The Biden administration confirmed the withholding of bombs and artillery rounds in response to Israel’s attack on Hamas’s stronghold in Rafah. Israel is now forced to send soldiers directly into buildings to continue their operation in Rafah, as they cannot use air strikes due to the lack of bombs. Hamas has taken advantage of this situation by rigging buildings and tunnels with explosives, leading to a higher risk of casualties for Israeli soldiers. The delay caused by Biden’s opposition has given Hamas time to prepare and launch attacks on Israel. The Israel Defense Forces are now engaged in face-to-face combat in Rafah, resulting in a higher likelihood of military casualties. Many Israelis are now expressing anger towards President Biden for his role in this situation.
