United States Will Help Israel Buy Four More Iron Dome Short-Range Anti-Missile Systems
May 26, 2011

(JTA) -- The United States will help Israel buy four more Iron Dome short-range anti-missile systems, a Pentagon official said.

Lt.-Gen. Patrick O'Reilly, the head of the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency, told the Senate Appropriations Defense subcommittee Wednesday that the agency has included in its budget a proposal to pay for four more of the protection systems, which each cost about $50 million.

4. We don't need no stinking infrastructure repairs, jobs, medication for
