Operating from undisclosed bases in the region, US forces shot down a number of Iranian drones over southern Syria near the border with Jordan, security sources told Reuters. British RAF Typhoon fighter jets were also deployed to shoot down drones. They flew over Iraq and Syria but not over Israel. Jordan - which has a peace treaty with Israel but has been highly critical of the way it has carried out its war against the Palestinian group Hamas in Gaza - also intercepted flying objects that entered its airspace to secure the safety of its citizens, a Jordanian cabinet statement said. France helped to patrol airspace but it was unclear if they had shot down any drones or missiles, the Israeli military said.
