From Khaleej Times:JERUSALEM - A radar system, which the United States agreed in July to deploy in Israel to counter a perceived missile threat from Iran, is to go operational in mid-December, army radio reported on Saturday.
The US military technicians who will operate the system are currently carrying out the final tests, the radio said.
The radar system, which has a range of more than 2,000 kilometres (1,250 miles), has been installed in the Negev desert in southern Israel.
Some 120 US troops have been deployed to Israel to set up and operate the system, public radio reported in late September.
US Defence Secretary Robert Gates agreed to the deployment after Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak and army chief Lieutenant General Gabi Ashkenazi made separate visits to Washington in July to discuss the perceived Iranian threat.
It was formally announced by the Pentagon early last month.
