IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi spoke yesterday with his British counterpart, Chief of the Defence Staff Adm. Sir Antony David Radakin, the Israeli military says.

Halevi thanked Radakin “for the assistance of the British Army in the joint defensive effort to thwart and intercept the Iranian attack toward Israel in the ‘Iron Shield’ operation,” the IDF says in a statement.

The IDF says the “relationship between the two militaries has strategic importance for maintaining regional stability and security in the Middle East.”

The UK was among several nations that intercepted many of the Iranian drones and cruise missiles launched at Israel in the attack early Sunday.
