The U.S. House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly on Thursday to give $1 billion to Israel for its Iron Dome missile-defense system, two days after objections from the most liberal Democrats forced leaders to remove it from a broader spending bill, reports Reuters.
The measure passed by 420 to 9 - eight no's from Democrats and one from a Republican - with two members voting present.
