The Pentagon's decision to send a Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense battery and troops to Israel signals a deeper U.S. commitment to Israel's defense amid increased attacks.
Maj. Gen. Ryder emphasized that this deployment is intended to protect both Israel and American citizens within the region from further missile threats from Iran.
The U.S. previously sent THAAD systems to Israel for training purposes and took similar measures in 2017 as a counter against North Korean missile threats.
The ongoing U.S. military presence in the Middle East indicates a response to geopolitical tensions and reassures allies of America's continued support in defense matters.
