US Deploys Radar in Israel Amid Fears of Iranian Attack from VOA News: TopStories Israeli officials say some 120 American crewmen will operate the system, which was set up this month at Nevatim military base in southern Israel. Israeli analyst Gerald Steinberg says deployment of the radar shows that the military option remains on the table, despite threats from Iran that it would retaliate by bombarding Israel with long-range missiles. "The Iranians should see this as a ratcheting up, that Israel and the United States are preparing to do something because they are worried about an Iranian counter attack and preparing to block that as well," Steinberg said.
