The US is planning to send its entire Iron Dome stockpile to Israel, according to a report in Haaretz on Wednesday.
Citing US officials, the report says that the stockpile, which includes two batteries and 300 interceptors owned by the US military, would be sent to assist Israel during the war.
The Pentagon has not yet officially confirmed the plans.
The US bought the Israeli-manufactured systems several years ago at the request of Congress, but has rarely used the two batteries since.
