Recent tensions in the Middle East, particularly surrounding Israel and its neighbors, have prompted the United States to bolster its military presence in the region. This includes the deployment of troops and advanced defense systems like the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD). The escalation of hostilities, including missile threats from groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah, has heightened concerns about Israel's security, leading to calls for enhanced defensive measures. THAAD is an American anti-ballistic missile defense system developed to intercept and destroy short-, medium-, and intermediate-range ballistic missiles during their terminal phase of flight. Originally designed for theater-level defense, THAAD employs a hit-to-kill approach, utilizing kinetic energy to neutralize incoming threats. The system features advanced radar and tracking capabilities, allowing it to engage multiple targets simultaneously. Since its introduction, THAAD has been deployed in various locations globally, reflecting the U.S. commitment to missile defense and regional security partnerships.
