The Jordanian military announced today (Wednesday) that its air defenses intercepted four drones launched from Iran, according to N12 journalist Asaf Rozentzweig. The announcement follows the earlier interception of four out of six Iranian missiles, as reported by the same source. This marks the latest development in a series of interceptions reported by Jordan today.
The sequence of events began at 11:10 Jerusalem, when initial reports indicated that Israel did not participate in interceptions over Jordan, a departure from previous rounds. Shortly after, the IDF confirmed that no Iron Dome interceptors were launched and no debris fell in Israeli territory. Jordan's military then stated that its air defenses intercepted four ballistic missiles, with two hitting uninhabited areas. The official Jordanian news agency later reported that six missiles were intercepted, but the military subsequently clarified that four of the six were intercepted and two fell in open areas. The source quality evolved from single-sourced reports to official confirmations from Jordan's military and news agency, and later the IDF's statement.
Jordan has repeatedly intercepted Iranian projectiles in recent weeks, as The Zioneer reported on multiple occasions, including interceptions of drones and missiles over the past month. The current report is single-sourced but cites an official announcement from the Jordanian military.
No details on the type of drones, the location of interception, or casualties have been provided beyond the military's statement. The report remains unverified by independent sources.
