The United States has announced the deployment of an advanced THAAD anti-missile defense system and approximately 100 troops to Israel to bolster its defense capabilities in response to heightened threats from Iran. This move comes as Israel faces a significant shortage of interceptor missiles, raising concerns about its ability to counter missile attacks. Critics, including a former U.S. Army Major who resigned over the Gaza conflict, have cautioned against further military entanglements. As U.S. soldiers arrive in Israel to assist in operations, the implications of this military support on American forces and the political landscape ahead of upcoming elections are under scrutiny.
