According to some sources, Saudi Arabia actively assisted Israel in its defense efforts against Iranian attacks. In addition to sharing radar and intelligence data, the Saudis reportedly even opened their airspace to allow Israeli fighter jets to intercept Iranian drones.

These sources also claim that Saudi Arabia offered this assistance on one condition: that Israel not make it public. If confirmed, this would be another strong indication that Saudi Arabia and Israel are likely to normalize relations once Hamas is fully dismantled and the war in Gaza comes to an end.
