The Pentagon plans to send two Iron Dome missile defense systems to Israel as the country continues to shoot down missiles fired at it from Hamas, a Defense Department official confirmed to The Hill.
“The U.S. will be flowing additional Iron Dome support to Israel,” the defense official said. “As a result, the Department of Defense is currently engaged in planning to support the provision of U.S. Iron Dome batteries to Israel.”
The official confirmed that two systems would be sent but would not say under what terms the batteries will be provided or whether they would be returned to the U.S. if undamaged by the end of the war.
