The United States is sending an advanced missile defense system to Israel, along with about 100 American troops to operate it, the Pentagon announced on Sunday. It is the first deployment of U.S. forces to Israel since the Hamas-led attacks there on Oct. 7, 2023.
President Biden directed Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III to deploy the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, or THAAD, and its crew, Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary, said in a statement on Sunday.
The move will put American troops operating the ground-based interceptor, which is designed to defend against ballistic missiles, closer to the widening war in the Middle East. It comes after Iran launched about 200 missiles at Israel on Oct. 1 and as Israel plans its retaliatory attack. – Source – Archive

The United States said on Sunday it will send U.S. troops to Israel along with a $1 billion 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,” which is weighing an expected retaliation against Iran after Tehran fired more than 180 missiles at Israel on Oct 1. – Source
As America deploys more troops to israel as we speak, the threat of a false flag attack at the expense of American soldiers’ lives grows closer by the minute.
REMEMBER israel’s deliberate attack on its own unsuspecting ally on June 8th, 1967.
REMEMBER the israeli rockets and torpedos that took the lives of 34 Americans Soldiers and wounded 171+.
REMEMBER that israel jammed their communications so they couldn’t radio for help.
REMEMBER that israel shot at the life rafts so they couldn’t escape.
REMEMBER that israel dropped napalm to incinerate everything in sight.
REMEMBER the cover-up perpetrated by our own government to protect the interests of a foreign nation and the interests of its donors.
REMEMBER that israel has never been held accountable for committing this deliberate act of war.
