Pentagon will send advanced missile defense system, military personnel to Israel
The U.S. will send to Israel a missile defense system and military personnel to operate it, the Pentagon announced Sunday.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin authorized the deployment of a Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery "and associated crew of U.S. military personnel" at President Biden's direction "to help bolster Israel’s air defenses following Iran’s unprecedented attacks against Israel on April 13 and again on October 1," Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said in a statement.
