British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak confirms that the Royal Air Force shot down “a number of drones” during the overnight Iranian attack on Israel.

The British prime minister says Iran’s attack was a “dangerous and unnecessary escalation,” and that the RAF operation saved lives in Israel and its neighboring countries.

“I want to pay tribute to the bravery and professionalism of our pilots flying into the face of danger to protect civilians,” he says.
