Israel deploys Iron Dome system to UAE to help defend against Iranian attacks

(Central News Agency, Jerusalem, 12th,綜合外電報導) US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee announced today that Israel has transported an Iron Dome air defense system and personnel to the United Arab Emirates.

Reuters reported that Huckabee, speaking at an event in Tel Aviv, stated: "Israel has just sent an Iron Dome system and personnel to help operate it to the United Arab Emirates. Why? Because the UAE and Israel have established an extraordinary relationship based on the Abraham Accords." He was referring to the 2020 agreement that normalized relations between Israel and the UAE.

Sources familiar with the matter told Reuters that Israel sent the air defense system to the UAE to help defend against Iranian attacks during wartime.

Since the US and Israel declared war on Iran on February 28, Iran has attacked the UAE more frequently than any other country, and attacks have continued during the current ceasefire.

Anwar Gargash, presidential advisor and senior official in the UAE, stated on March 17 that Iran's attacks on its Arab neighbors would strengthen relations between Israel and those Arab countries that have established diplomatic ties with it. (Compiler: He Hong-ru) 1150512
