EUA enviam sistema anti-míssil para Israel após ataques do Irão

October 14, 2024 - Os EUA dizem que vão projetar uma bateria de Defesa Terminal de Alta Altitude (THAAD) para Israel, juntamente com 100 militares para a
operarem, na vaga de ataques de mísseis do Irão.

A Pentagon statement said President Joe Biden had ordered the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery and its crew be sent “to defend Israel”

Iran launched almost 200 ballistic missiles towards Israel on 1 October. The Israeli military said most were intercepted, but a number struck central and southern Israel.

Israel has not yet said how it will respond to the attack, but Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has said it will be “deadly, precise and above all surprising”.

Iran has in turn said it will not let any attack by Israel go unanswered, according to the BBC.
