The THAAD air defense system enhances Israel's defenses amid rising threats from Iran and allies, signaling U.S. commitment while positioning troops more strategically in the region.
Yehoshua Kalisky explained, "It is a political message of the United States to Israel that, 'We are with you,' and to enemies, it's: 'Don't.'"
The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, critical for intercepting missiles, comprises interceptors and radar, allowing it to target threats both inside and outside the atmosphere.
THAAD is one of just nine active batteries worldwide and significantly bolsters Israel's existing air defense systems, emphasizing U.S. military support amidst escalating tensions.
