Israel has requested the help of several countries to intercept Iranian missiles and drones approaching its territory, according to local media.

At least France and the United Kingdom have already received the request from the Israeli authorities. The UK has already responded positively and is providing support to Israel. France is hesitant about a favorable response to the request for assistance.

On Friday, Israel launched coordinated air strikes on several Iranian sites, including military and nuclear facilities, prompting Tehran to launch retaliatory strikes within hours.

According to Israeli authorities, at least 13 people have been killed and more than 370 injured in Iranian missile attacks since Friday.

Meanwhile, the Iranian Health Ministry said that 224 people have been killed and 1,277 injured since Israel launched the attacks on Friday
