The Pentagon notified Congress it wants to sell Israel as many as 6,900 tail kits used to convert free-fall bombs into satellite-guided ordnance, including weapons capable of penetrating hardened targets.

The proposed deal to resupply the Israeli Air Force with bombs, tail kits, fuses and logistical support would be valued at as much as $647 million, according to a statement yesterday from the Defense Security Cooperation Agency.
