Lockheed Martin's Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system is an anti-missile system that can intercept ballistic missiles at high altitudes, significantly enhancing Israel’s defensive capabilities.
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin emphasized that the THAAD is expected to be operational soon, stating, 'We have the ability to put it into operation very quickly and we're on pace with our expectations.'
The deployment of THAAD, alongside U.S. troops, marks a significant escalation of U.S. involvement in Israel's military actions, signaling a strong commitment to its ally.
According to U.S. officials, the deployment represents 'another visible statement of our commitment' to Israel amid rising tensions and military operations in the region.
