    U.S. bases powerful radar in Israel

    The U.S. has deployed long-range radar in Israel to give early warning of any missile strike by Iran, officials say.

    The radar has been set up at an air base in the Negev desert and will be operated by 120 US military personnel.

    Israeli reports say it is the first time U.S. military personnel have been based in the country permanently.
