Iran launched dozens of drones and cruise missiles toward Israel on Saturday in apparent retaliation for the Israeli airstrike in Damascus on April 1 that left seven Iranian officers dead. Officials for the United States confirmed that U.S. forces took down Iranian attack drones during Iran’s extended attack on Israel. https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1779274919861256274 From the Washington Post:
U.S. forces on Saturday took down Iranian attack drones during Iran’s extended attack on Israel, U.S. officials said, as the United States walked a line of helping its ally without getting pulled deeper into a regional war.
One U.S. official said that U.S. forces “continue to shoot down Iranian-launched drones targeting Israel.” A second official said the U.S. military took down at least one Iranian drone, and a third said that U.S. forces had targeted drones. All three officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
The officials did not say how the drones were being intercepted. U.S. forces have for months taken down drones with air-defense systems and fighter jets.

I felt the news was important to mention here on TRR, but I encourage you to follow updates from major news outlets like the Washington Post and/or the New York Times. https://twitter.com/Iran_UN/status/1779269993043022053
