Israel must be planning to hit Iran soon because they just requested another THAAD missile defense battery from the US to protect against a retaliation strike from Iran.

Via The Times of Israel:

Israel has requested that the US send a second THAAD battery to protect the country in case of an Iranian reaction to an expected Israeli reprisal attack, Channel 12 reports.

The Pentagon on Sunday confirmed that Washington will send one advanced air defense battery to Israel, along with American soldiers to operate it.

The THAAD is considered a complimentary system to the Patriot system but can defend a wider area, capable of hitting targets at ranges of 150-200 kilometers (93-124 miles).

Each battery consists of six truck-mounted launchers, 48 interceptors, radio and radar equipment, and requires 95 soldiers to operate.

It must be killing Iran to continue waiting when they know it’s coming, but it looks like they won’t have to wait much longer. And I hope it’s devastating.
