Israel has been expecting Iranian strikes since conducting an air strike on April 1 that killed Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders in Damascus.

It was reported that British jets took off from Cyprus in order to intercept drones and missiles launched from Iran.
Israel’s Channel 12 said that US and UK fighter jets shot down Iranian drones near the Syria-Iraq border.
When asked about the missile strikes, the Ministry of Defence did not comment.
