US, UK, France, Jordan Team up To Defend Israeli Airspace

Israel’s allies have detailed their participation in the interception of Iranian fire during Operation True Promise

The US army said on 15 April that it shot down dozens of drones and several missiles launched from Iran and Yemen during Tehran’s Operation True Promise.

The statement condemned Iran’s “unprecedented, malign, and reckless behavior” and said the US “remains postured to support Israel’s defense against these dangerous actions.”

...On Monday, French President Emmanuel Macron confirmed his country’s participation in intercepting projectiles launched at Israel during the Iranian attack. Macron added that France’s involvement occurred “at Jordan's request” as French jets were flying in Amman’s airspace.

Amman said in a cabinet statement the day before that ‘’some unidentified flying objects that entered our airspace last night were dealt with and intercepted to prevent endangering the safety of our citizens and inhabited areas.''

It added that “fragments fell in multiple locations during this incident without causing any significant damage or injuries among citizens.” Jordan faced significant backlash from citizens, who criticized Amman’s endangerment of the Jordanian population in order to prevent Iranian fire from reaching Israel.

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on Sunday that the British Royal Air Force (RAF) shot down “a number” of Iranian drones during the attack on Israel.

“We pay tribute to the bravery and the professionalism of our pilots flying into the face of danger to protect civilians,” Sunak said.

Iran’s attack began late on 13 April and extended into the early hours of the following day. It came as a response to the destruction of the Iranian consulate in Syria early this month, which killed several top officials and advisors.

The main targets were the Nevatim airbase – from where Israeli jets took off to attack Iran’s consulate on 1 April – and Israeli intelligence centers in the Jabal al-Sheikh heights between Syria and Israel’s territory, Iran’s army said.

Israel confirmed that the Nevatim base was damaged.

Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari said on Sunday Iran attacked with over 120 ballistic missiles, 170 drones, and more than 30 cruise missiles.
