🚨 The Pentagon has confirmed the unprecedented deployment of THAAD anti-ballistic missile systems to Israel. 🇮🇱🇺🇸
This move significantly boosts Israel's defense capabilities against potential missile attacks, particularly from Iran. The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system is known for its ability to intercept short, medium, and intermediate-range ballistic missiles, providing a crucial layer of protection.
Approximately 100 US military personnel will accompany the THAAD battery to Israel, providing operational support and expertise. This deployment underscores the strong alliance between the US and Israel and the commitment to safeguarding Israel's security in a volatile region.
The deployment follows recent escalations in tensions and exchanges of fire between Israel and Iran, highlighting the growing need for advanced defensive measures. The THAAD system adds a powerful layer to Israel's existing air defenses, which include the Iron Dome and David's Sling systems.
