The Obama administration is asking Congress to approve $205 million to help Israel speed up deployment of a new short-range rocket defense system called the "Iron Dome," the White House said Thursday.
The funds are in addition to the $3 billion Obama requested in the 2001 budget, which are part of a larger 10-year, $30 billion 2007 military aid agreement.
Israel's "Iron Dome" system is meant to intercept rockets from the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
Though it could be years before it is fully operational along those two borders, the missile defense system was expected to be deployed at a few initial locations sometime this year. The Obama administration decided to help fund the effort after being impressed with the system's effectiveness and determining that an infusion of funds now from Washington could allow deployment to unfold more quickly, said a senior administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss private thinking.
