President Joe Biden has praised the US military and American servicemembers for helping the Israel Defense Forces to deflect a large-scale Iranian attack against military facilities in Israel.
“At my direction, to support the defense of Israel, the US military moved aircraft and ballistic missile defense destroyers to the region over the course of the past week. Thanks to these deployments and the extraordinary skill of our servicemembers, we helped Israel take down nearly all of the incoming drones and missiles,” Biden said in a statement published by the White House following his late night phone conversation with the Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.
