US President, Joe Biden has announced that nearly all the Iranian drones and missiles fired towards Israel by Iran have been intercepted.
Biden added that he will convene a meeting of G7 leaders on Sunday over the attack launched against Israel by Iran.
Biden condemned the attack, saying in a statement from the White House that Iran was aided by its proxy forces in Yemen, Syria and Iraq.
“At my direction, to support the defence of Israel, the U.S. military moved aircraft and ballistic missile defence destroyers to the region over the course of the past week.
“Thanks to these deployments and the extraordinary skill of our servicemembers, we helped Israel take down nearly all of the incoming drones and missiles.
Biden says that he reaffirms America’s “ironclad” commitment to Israel in his call with Benjamin Netanyahu.
“I told him that Israel demonstrated a remarkable capacity to defend against and defeat even unprecedented attacks – sending a clear message to its foes that they cannot effectively threaten the security of Israel.”
