The US confirms it will send an air defense battery and American soldiers to Israel.

“At the direction of the president, [Defense] Secretary Austin authorized the deployment of a Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery and associated crew of US military personnel to Israel to help bolster Israel’s air defenses following Iran’s unprecedented attacks against Israel on April 13 and again on October 1,” the US Defense Department says in a statement. “The THAAD Battery will augment Israel’s integrated air defense system.”

The deployment “underscores the United States’ ironclad commitment to the defense of Israel, and to defend Americans in Israel, from any further ballistic missile attacks by Iran,” says Washington. “It is part of the broader adjustments the US military has made in recent months, to support the defense of Israel and protect Americans from attacks by Iran and Iranian-aligned militias.”

Each battery consists of six truck-mounted launchers, 48 interceptors, radio and radar equipment, and requires 95 soldiers to operate.

The THAAD is considered a complimentary system to the Patriot system, but it can defend a wider area. It can hit targets at ranges of 150-200 kilometers (93-124 miles).

Meh, was gonna happen sooner or later considering the sheer amount of US citizens there. Besides, America is too p*ssy to deal with terrorists properly.​

Four Israeli soldiers have been killed and more than 60 people injured in a Hezbollah drone attack on an army base in central-northern Israel, according to first responders and the Israeli military.

The incident late Sunday local time is one of the bloodiest attacks on Israel since the beginning of the war last October.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said an unmanned aerial vehicle, or UAV, launched by Hezbollah hit an army base adjacent to Binyamina, a town north of Tel Aviv that lies some 40 miles from the Lebanese border.

In addition to the four soldiers killed, seven soldiers suffered severe injuries, the IDF said.

According to Israel’s Magen David Adom emergency service, a total of 61 people were wounded in the attack.

The news comes after Hezbollah said Sunday it had fired a swarm of attack drones on an Israeli infantry training camp in Binyamina.

The Lebanon-based militant group said the attack was in response to Israeli strikes in Lebanon Thursday that killed 22 people and injured 117, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.

Hezbollah said it had targeted the Golani Brigade, an infantry unit of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) that has been deployed in southern Lebanon. The claim of responsibility for the attack came shortly after the militant group released an audio message from its slain leader Hassan Nasrallah calling on its members to “defend your people, your family, your nation, your values and your dignity.”

Earlier on Sunday, the IDF said it had intercepted a Lebanon-launched UAV without specifying where. It was not immediately clear whether this was the same incident that led to the injuries.

Israeli air defence systems tend to be very reliable, but on Sunday, there were no reports of alerts in the Binyamina area at the time of the attack, raising questions of how the drone was able to penetrate so deep into the Israeli territory without being spotted.

Hezbollah said it had fired dozens of rockets toward the northern Israeli towns of Nahariya and Acre to engage Israel’s air defense systems, while simultaneously launching the drone swarm.

“These drones broke through the Israel defense radars without detection and reached its target at the training camp of the elite Golani Brigade in Binyamina,” Hezbollah said.

The IDF’s top spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said the military would investigate how the drone got through without raising an alarm at the base.

“We will learn from and investigate the incident,” he said in a video statement from the base. “The threat of UAVs is a threat we are dealing with since the beginning of the war. We need an improvement to our defense,” he added.

these miniature drones are changing warfare as we know it. They’re small, fast damn near undetectable because they fly at low altitude and can carry significantly powerful payloads. they are perfect for assassinations and guerilla warfare.

It really is scary, these $100 drones are renderin 1 million dollar tanks useless. I’m seeing Russian soldiers being blown to pieces. Shyt is spooky

But there’s now a countdown to the tears that will be flowing when Israel gets it cracking in their response

That’s Palestine not Lebanon…

But my opinion is that Hamas and the IDF see the killing of civilians as acceptable to achieve their goals…



Who am I to take sides on a situation like that?

 

[DetroitEWarren]

I don't give a single fukk about any of those MANDATORY MILITARY members. They deserve losing limbs and heads.

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

[Jalether]

Surprised this doesn't have more posts.

Hasbara crew on the coli are in mourning, that's why.

Give them a few days to recover plus get their propaganda marching orders together

 

[Sccit]

LOL, I honestly hope Israel get what they deserve then they come to the table with reasonable solutions instead of thinking they can strong arm anyone in the region. Hope the U.S stays out of it. This way real solutions can be brought to the table

WHAT ISRAEL DESERVES IS FOR ALL THE NATIONS THAT WANT THEM WIPED OFF THE MAP TO FALL

WHICH IS WHAT WILL EVENTUALLY HAPPEN

STOP CAPING FOR TERRORIST REGIMES THAT WANT U DEAD.. ITS NOT THE LOOK U THINK IT IS

Yeah they said that it was camoflouged by a Rocket barrage then the drone fired a missile that's new technology for them.

More surprises may be on the way.
