In response to Iran's retaliatory missile strike, "Israel" coordinated closely with the Pentagon, as reported by Reuters, with a US operational liaison officer present in the control room of "Israel's" Arrow ballistic air defense system.

According to the report, the joint efforts of Israeli, US, UK, French, and Jordanian forces intercepted a significant portion of the incoming Iranian response.

Moshe Patel, director of missile defense at "Israel's" Ministry of Security, said the systems were synchronized with corresponding US systems in the region.

He stated to Israeli Channel 12 TV, "The systems share information, for a joint picture of the sky, and the sky was certainly busy... An American officer sits in the control room of the Arrow weapons system and essentially conducts the coordination with the US systems, shoulder-to-shoulder."

Iran's overnight attack on Sunday was conducted in response to "Israel's" recent aggression on the Iranian consulate in Damascus. 

According to reports, the attack involved 185 drones, 36 cruise missiles, and 110 surface-to-surface missiles launched from Iran.

While the majority of missiles were intercepted, none of the hypersonic missiles fired toward "Israel" were intercepted by the Iron Dome.

Footage circulated on social media showing several Iranian ballistic missiles impact their targets at supersonic speeds.
