Advance team of US military personnel, initial THAAD components arrived in Israel — Pentagon
2024-10-16
[IsraelTimes] An advance team of US military personnel and initial components necessary to operate the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) arrived in Israel yesterday, Pentagon spokesperson Pat Ryder says in a statement.

Additional US military personnel and THAAD battery components will continue to arrive in Israel over the coming days, Ryder says.

The air defense battery will be fully operational capable in the near future, but an exact timeline will not be discussed due to security concerns, Ryder adds.

“The deployment of the THAAD battery to Israel underscores the United States’ commitment to the defense of Israel and to defend Americans in Israel from any ballistic missile attacks by Iran,” he says.

#2  I've seen comments on "X" that unless Israel waits until after the US election to hit back at Iran then Biden will not give them support. That's why US help is only slowly flowing in, Hezb is being dealt with a bit first and all the rest of the strange jazz we have been seeing.
