An interception was observed from the Mitzpe Ramon area in southern Israel this morning, reportedly from the direction of Jordan, according to a report. The observation, reported at 06:57 Jerusalem, marks the first reported interception from within Israeli territory in this morning's sequence of events. The type of projectile and the outcome of the interception are not yet known.
The incident follows two earlier reports today: at 05:33, a report indicated Iranian launches toward Jordan, and at 05:39, a photo from Kiryat Motzkin appeared to show interceptions over Jordan. Both reports were single-source, unverified accounts.
The Iranian activity toward Jordan has been a recurring theme, with previous reports of launches and interceptions over Jordan dating back to late June. The current developments appear to be part of a broader pattern of Iranian missile and drone activity directed at Jordan, sometimes involving US targets.
As of this report, there is no official Israeli or Jordanian statement on the interception. The Zioneer is monitoring the situation.
