President Biden was asked about this on the 13th and replied that he had ordered the Pentagon to use the THAAD system to “protect Israel.” A senior US official told the media that day that it is expected to take at least a week to deliver the new system and the necessary troops to Israel.
The New York Times reported that the additional troops will be responsible for operating the THAAD system.
The Washington Post reported that the intensity of Iran’s attacks caused Israel’s advanced missile defense system to be overwhelmed, causing dozens of missiles to hit its territory. On the 13th, a Hezbollah drone appeared to evade the air defense system and attacked a military base in northern Israel, causing casualties.
Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder said that THAAD will improve Israel’s integrated air defense system and demonstrate the strong commitment of the United States to defend Israel and protect local Americans from Iranian missile attacks.
