The delivery is part of the implementation of the agreement between the US and Israel for supplying the sophisticated weapon system, whose development has been funded in part by the US. The Iron Dome has been a major boost to Israel's security in various flare-ups in the Gaza Strip by intercepting many missiles fired toward Israeli civilian population centers.

The agreement was signed in 2019, with the current delivery carried out in an unprecedented speed. A second battery is expected to be delivered to within several weeks. Both are expected to be used for US force proteciton against a variety of projectiles.
