U.S. Uses Special Missiles to Help Protect Israel

Hey everyone! Did you hear about how the U.S. helped Israel recently? 😊 Let me tell you all about it!

There was a conflict that lasted 12 days between Israel and Iran. During this time, the U.S. used some of its special missiles to help protect Israel from attacks. These missiles are called THAAD, which stands for Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense. That’s a big name, right? Basically, THAAD missiles are like giant shields that can stop other missiles from hitting their targets!

According to news reports, the U.S. used up to 20% of its THAAD missiles to defend Israel. That’s a lot! It cost about $800 million to use these missiles during the conflict. But don’t worry, the U.S. is making more to replace the ones they used. 😊

It’s important for countries to help each other, especially during tough times. The U.S. and Israel are good friends, and they worked together to keep people safe. Isn’t it interesting how technology like THAAD missiles can protect people?
