Journalist Ghanem Ibrahim posted footage that appears to document an Iranian missile and drone launch earlier Thursday morning, claiming the projectiles were directed toward Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. The report is unverified and based on a single source.
An unverified video posted Thursday morning by journalist Ghanem Ibrahim purports to document the launch of multiple missiles and drones from Iran directed toward Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. If authenticated, the footage would mark the first visual evidence of the attack.
The video emerges hours after the attack had already been firmly established by a chain of reports and official confirmations. By 04:38 Jerusalem Thursday, The Zioneer had published a series of updates: Yediot Ahronot reported the launch; Kuwait announced its forces had intercepted Iranian projectiles aimed at US bases; and Iran issued a series of claims, eventually confirmed by its army, that it had struck the Ahmed al-Jaber base in Kuwait and the Al-Minhad base in the UAE.
The new footage adds a visual dimension to a story that had been based on textual reports and official statements. However, its authenticity has not been independently verified. No official confirmation of the video's content has been issued by Kuwait, the UAE, or Iran. The Zioneer has not obtained additional corroborating reports at this time.
