Emily Jacobs is a congressional reporter for the Washington Examiner. She began her career at Fox News Channel as a ticker writer and then moved to the New York Post's politics team as a national political reporter.
A bipartisan group of Senate Armed Services Committee members sent a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Wednesday requesting that the Pentagon send Iron Dome batteries to Israel as the country faces near-constant rocket fire from Hamas terrorists.
"As you know, the United States Army is currently in possession of two Iron Dome batteries that have not been deployed and have no operational use inside the United States where they are currently stored," the letter states."Immediately transferring these two Iron Dome batteries that are not in use to Israel would provide tangible, life-saving and sustained support to our ally as it faces rocket and missile salvos that threaten to overwhelm its defenses.
