The Trump administration is moving ahead with a major arms sale to Israel worth about $660 million, including more than 27,000 bombs, in a deal that contains an unusual detail: the munitions are produced by a company owned by a Turkish defense manufacturer.

Israel is expected to finance the purchase in part using the $3.8 billion in annual U.S. military aid it receives.
