LONDON (Reuters) – British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Jordan’s King Abdullah, Sky News said on Tuesday.

The Sky News report came after Iran fired a salvo of ballistic missiles at Israel in retaliation for Israel’s campaign against Tehran’s Hezbollah allies in Lebanon.

Reuters journalists saw missiles intercepted in the airspace of neighbouring Jordan.

Starmer’s office did not immediately reply to a Reuters request for comment.
