U.S. TO SEND TROOPS TO AID ISRAEL- Pentagon says the U.S will also send anti-missile system
The United States says it will send U.S. troops to Israel along with an advanced U.S. anti-missile system, in a highly unusual deployment meant to bolster the country’s air defenses following missile attacks by Iran.
U.S. President Joe Biden said the move was meant “to defend Israel”
Pentagon spokesperson Major General Patrick Ryder described the deployment as part of “the broader adjustments the U.S. military has made in recent months” to support Israel and defend U.S. personnel from attacks by Iran and Iranian-backed groups.
However, the U.S. officials did not say how quickly the system would be deployed to Israel.
