100 drones I think. Tempered and well broadcasted response to Israel's attack on the Iran Diplomatic building in Lebanon.
I have not heard anything about cruise missiles.

I have not heard anything about cruise missiles. Reports are that both cruise missiles and drones are expected.

The US will most definitely help in taking these all down before a strike

The US will most definitely help in taking these all down before a strike I am not so sure. Israel has their own anti air defenses, and the US may not want to join Israel in what could rapidly escalate even further.

MSNBC is reporting that Jordan will help shoot them down as they cross their territory.

MSNBC is reporting that Jordan will help shoot them down as they cross their territory. That would be quite reasonable, as surely Iran did not get permission to fly them through Jordanian airspace.

Iran now reporting Drones, followed by cruise and ballistic missiles.
This will seriously test Israel's air defense system.
I was wondering the difference
Ballistic missiles are rocket-propelled weapons that travel by momentum in a high, arcing trajectory after they have been launched into flight by a brief burst of power. Cruise missiles, on the other hand, are powered continuously by air-breathing jet engines and are sustained along a low, level flight path by aerodynamic lift.

Cruise missiles can be shot down just like airplanes (or drones). Ballistic missiles are much harder to stop. Ideally you hit them in the boost phase, as they are launching.
In WW2, the V1 missiles were cruise missiles. The V2 missiles were ballistic. The Scud missiles used by Iraq in the Gulf War were ballistic.
