The Jordanian military reported Wednesday morning that its air defenses intercepted four of six Iranian missiles, with the remaining two falling in open areas. No casualties or damage were reported. Explosions were heard in the southern Israeli city of Eilat about an hour ago, according to the Jordanian military as reported by N13 journalists Moriah Asraf and Doron Kadosh.
The Jordanian military confirmed Wednesday morning that four of six Iranian missiles launched toward the kingdom were intercepted and two fell in open areas, with no casualties or damage. The refinement, reported around 11:44 Jerusalem, updates earlier official tallies and comes about half an hour after a series of rapid developments.
At 11:10 Jerusalem, reports emerged that Israel did not participate in interceptions over Jordan this time, a shift from previous rounds. Minutes later, the IDF confirmed it had not launched Iron Dome interceptors and that no debris from Jordanian interceptions fell in Israel. The Jordanian military then stated its air defenses had intercepted four missiles and two hit uninhabited areas, followed by the state news agency reporting six missiles intercepted. The current statement further clarifies the tally: four intercepted, two fell in open spaces.
As The Zioneer has reported on numerous prior incidents, Jordan has repeatedly intercepted Iranian missiles: 10 on July 18, eight on July 16, 20 on June 11, and several other occasions. The kingdom has consistently stated that missiles entering its airspace originate from Iran and are likely targeting Israel, with no casualties reported in any instance.
The missiles' exact origin, type, and intended targets have not been specified. The Jordanian military is the sole source for the current details, with no independent confirmation.
