Israel’s Iron Dome missile system shot down one of the Iranian missiles fired at the UAE today, a source tells CNN.
The presence of the Iron Dome in the UAE would indicate that IDF forces are stationed there.
Israel sent the battery and the soldiers to operate the system to the UAE at the beginning of the war with Iran, Axios reported.
