US Congress Approves Funds For Israel's Iron Dome System, As Fighting Rages In Gaza

Even as a short-lived truce between Hamas and Israel went up in smoke in Gaza Friday, the U.S. Congress approved a $225 million emergency funding package for Israel's Iron Dome anti-missile system, according to an Associated Press report. The bill was OK'd by the House of Representatives and Senate late in the day. It is being sent to President Barack Obama for signing into law.
