Urgent requests for weapons will run up against the House speaker drama and the looming shutdown.

The U.S. Army wants to help supply both its Ukrainian and Israeli allies with as many bombs and other equipment as they need in their separate wars.

Pentagon leadership is still in the early stages of evaluating what Israel might need to battle Hamas militants, but an administration briefing to members of Congress laid out some early markers: air-to-ground bombs, and air defense systems.

      Well, yes, but there are also pipe bombs, pressure cooker bombs, mortars, etc. So the context is warranted since bombs can be vague.
