The UAE faced a barrage of daily missile and drone attacks from Iran after the war broke out on February 28. The US and Tehran this week agreed to a two-week ceasefire.
The attacks martyred two UAE Armed Forces personnel and a Moroccan civilian contractor. Ten civilians were killed and more than 220 were injured.
