US fighter jets, destroyers, and Patriot missiles shot down loads of Iranian weapons to shield Israel from an unprecedented attack


Iran launched a barrage of munitions at Israel in an unprecedented attack over the weekend.

The US used fighter jets, Patriot missiles, and guided-missile destroyers to help thwart the attack.

Israel said that it, with support from its partners, intercepted 99% of missiles and drones.

"We've been firing SM-2s, we've been firing SM-6s, and just over the weekend, SM-3s, to actually counter the ballistic missile threat that's come from Iran," Del Toro said at a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense hearing on Tuesday.

So how much did those cost?
