In response to heightened tensions with Hezbollah, the Pentagon has deployed the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system to Israel, bolstering its air defenses amid Iranian missile threats. Alongside the THAAD battery, approximately 100 US troops will operate the system, designed to intercept ballistic missiles. This move follows recent missile attacks on Israel and escalates US military presence in the region. The conflict intensified after a Hezbollah drone strike killed four Israeli soldiers and injured over 60, prompting warnings of further retaliatory actions against Israel's aggression.
