The US will deploy a Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery together with associated US military personnel to Israel on US President Joe Biden’s orders, a Pentagon spokesman said on Sunday.
"At the direction of the President, Secretary Austin authorized the deployment of a Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery and associated crew of U.S. military personnel to Israel to help bolster Israel’s air defenses following Iran’s unprecedented attacks against Israel on April 13 and again on October 1," Pat Ryder said.
This action aims to augment Israeli air defense capabilities to defend Israelis from ballistic missile attacks by Iran, Ryder said. The deployment is part of the broader adjustments the US military has made in recent months.
