The destination was not publicly available.<br \/>\nU.S. and British warplanes <strong>have downed some Israel-bound Iranian drones o<\/strong>ver the Iraq-Syria border area, Israel\u2019s top-rated Channel 12 TV reported early on Sunday without citing sources.<br \/>\nIsrael\u2019s military said more than 100 drones, which Iraqi security sources said were seen flying over the country from\u00a0Iran, would take hours to reach their targets. Israeli Channel 12 said some had been shot down over Syria or Jordan.<br \/>\nIran\u2018s state news agency cited a source saying its military had also launched a<strong> first wave of ballistic missiles against Israel.<\/strong><br \/>\nIran\u00a0has vowed retaliation for what it called an Israeli strike on its Damascus consulate on April 1 that killed seven\u00a0Guards officers\u00a0including two senior commanders and said its strike was a punishment for \u201cIsraeli crimes\u201d. Israel has neither confirmed nor denied responsibility for the consulate attack.<br \/>\nU.S. President Joe Biden, who on Friday warned Iran against attacking Israel after saying such a scenario appeared imminent, has pledged to stand with Israel against Iran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>British fighter jets have been deployed from Akrotiri bases in Cyprus to help
