US PLAYED MAJOR ROLE: In the unprecedented direct attack, Iran launched approximately 170 drones, 30 cruise missiles, and 120 ballistic missiles targeting Israel over the weekend, and nearly all were destroyed before they could cause any damage.

Of the slow-flying drones, 80 were picked off by F-15E Strike Eagles from two squadrons that had been prepositioned in the region, according to the U.S. Central Command, which included drones and missiles destroyed in Yemen in its count.
