THAAD (Terminal High-Altitude Area Defence), a missile defense system developed by United States, is designed to intercept and destroy short to intermediate-range ballistic missiles. The U.S. has deployed THAAD to Israel as part of its commitment to Israel's defense amid rising tensions with Iran. This deployment enhances Israel's existing air defense capabilities, providing a deterrent against missile threats. The system employs "hit-to-kill" technology and can cover a broader area than older systems, reflecting strategic military adjustments in the region.
