THAAD battery deployed in Israel

In Israel, a THAAD battery has been deployed — a mobile ground-based missile defense system designed for high-altitude exoatmospheric interception of medium-range missiles and enemy aircraft. Strengthening air defense around military bases is considered the most visible signal of increased military readiness. According to supporters, America is preparing not only to launch strikes but also to defend against possible retaliatory actions from Iran, followed by subsequent operations. The question of how this will affect the situation in the Middle East is examined in the project "THIS IS DIFFERENT."
