The US will deploy the THAAD anti-ballistic missile system to Israel along with US troops to operate it, according to reports by Channel 12 news and Israel's Army Radio.
The deployment is described as part of preparations for the expected Israeli response to Iran’s recent missile attack.
The deployment would mark a deepening of the US's military footprint inside Israel.
The pentagon has said US special operations forces are stationed in Israel to “actively" help Israel “identify hostages, including American hostages".
