An Arab news channel has released exclusive footage overnight Tuesday that it claims shows the Iranian missile attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan last Friday, which killed two US soldiers. The footage purportedly documents a failure of the Patriot air defense system to intercept the incoming missiles.
As The Zioneer reported on Monday night, the attack was the third of three missile strikes within 24 hours and struck prefabricated housing where soldiers slept, killing two US service members. The identities of the fallen were later reported as a male and female soldier. Previous reports also indicated that an Iranian drone was damaged in the attack.
The channel's claim of a Patriot system failure is unverified. The footage has not been independently confirmed by US or Jordanian officials. If accurate, the incident would mark a significant breach of the air defense umbrella protecting US forces in the region, potentially prompting a reassessment of base security measures.
