U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, while visiting Kyiv, confirmed the deployment of the American THAAD missile defense system in Israel. This move is aimed at strengthening the Israel Defense Forces’ (IDF) air defense to potentially counter strikes from Iran.

Austin did not specify whether the system had become operational, only noting that it could be ready to work very quickly. According to him, the speed of deployment meets expectations.
