USA to allocate $680m for Israeli Iron Dome anti-missile system with American People’s taxes

The USA is to allocate 680 million dollars to boost the Israeli Iron Dome anti-missile system, a Congressional aide said.

The Republican-controlled Armed Services Committee plans millions more for the system designed to intercept short-range rockets and mortars, according to the congressional aide.

The money would be in addition to the $205 million that the Obama administration and Congress agreed to in a special request in the 2011 budget and would cover several years, through fiscal 2015.
