In the wake of Iran's missile attacks, the Pentagon announced the U.S. is sending a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense battery — an anti-missile system — to Israel, along with U.S. troops to help operate it.

Israel is widely believed to be preparing a military response to Iran's Oct. 1 attack when it fired roughly 180 missiles into Israel.
