"... The Israel Air Force has been making extensive use in Iran of one of Israel’s most lethal air-to-ground munitions, the 500 pound MPR 500 penetration bomb produced by Elbit Systems, ... This precision bomb is designed to penetrate reinforced concrete one meter thick, and is carried by F-15 and F-16 aircraft.
These bombs, originally developed by Israel Military Industries, which Elbit Systems acquired, are turned into precision weapons by means of JDAM guidance kits. They contain 26,000 controlled fragments and have a kill area of 2,200 square meters. The MPR 500 can be dropped tens of kilometers from the intended target. ...
The United States European Command, headquartered in Stuttgart [Germany], has transferred two destroyers to the East Mediterranean. In normal times, no fewer than 30,000 US troops are deployed around the Middle East, including in Israel. Recent reinforcements will raise that to around 40,000.
