United Arab Emirates sought help from allies during heavy attacks by Iran, and Israel responded by sending its Iron Dome system and troops. Reports said the move followed a call between Mohammed bin Zayed and Benjamin Netanyahu. The system helped intercept many missiles and drones targeting key sites. UAE officials said hundreds of missiles and thousands of drones were launched. Some still hit civilian and military areas. An official said the country would “not forget” the support. The move has strengthened ties between the UAE and Israel during the conflict. (PC: NDTV)
