TEL AVIV — A U.S. Army brigade carrying Patriot anti-aircraft missiles has arrived in Israel as both Israeli and Arab military sources reported heightened regional tensions.

The U.S. brigade from the 69th Air Defense Artillery arrived in Haifa and is preparing for an exercise, called Juniper Cobra. The exercise — beginning Thursday and lasting 14 days — is one component of plans to increase U.S.-Israeli defense coordination amid threats of regional war that could involve Iraq and Syria.
