US troops have arrived in Israel to deploy a THAAD missile defense battery, deepening the United States' involvement in the conflict between Israel and Iran. The deployment comes as Israel prepares to retaliate against Iran for a major ballistic missile attack earlier this month. The battery will enhance Israeli defenses in case of further strikes from Tehran. The move demonstrates Washington's commitment to Israel's security and aims to increase deterrence against Iran.
