- On June 30, 2025, the U.S. government authorized a $510 million deal to supply Israel with over 7,000 JDAM guidance kits aimed at enhancing the accuracy of its airstrikes.

- Boeing is the principal contractor assembling and integrating the guidance kits, while Raytheon benefits from related defense programs including the Iron Dome system.
- In 2023, Human Rights Watch identified fragments of JDAM bombs in Israeli airstrikes targeting homes in central Gaza, which resulted in the deaths of 43 civilians, among them 19 children and 14 women.
- The deal reinforces the U.S.-Israel defense partnership and provides steady revenue for American contractors as officials plan to continue diplomatic discussions amid regional instability.
