Israeli media reports, citing the US Army, that three American soldiers have been killed in the past 24 hours. Unidentified remains were found at the site of an impact in Jordan, and a US soldier was killed in northern Iraq during a controlled explosion. The update follows CENTCOM's earlier confirmation of two additional soldiers killed.
At 22:21 Jerusalem, Israeli news outlet N12 reported, citing the US Army, that three American soldiers have been killed in the past 24 hours. The report states that unidentified remains were located at the impact site in Jordan — the base struck by a missile on July 17 — and that a US soldier was killed in northern Iraq during a controlled explosion, likely related to neutralizing a downed Iranian drone. The circumstances of the third soldier's death were not specified.
This update follows two reports published by The Zioneer at 22:15 Jerusalem on Sunday. One confirmed that CENTCOM had recovered unidentified remains at the Jordan base. The other confirmed that CENTCOM had announced two additional soldier deaths: one from the Jordan attack (the previously missing soldier) and another killed in northern Iraq. The N12 report's total of three deaths in the past 24 hours appears to aggregate these developments, though the count differs from CENTCOM's two-soldier confirmation.
As The Zioneer reported Sunday, the July 17 missile strike on the US base in Jordan initially killed two soldiers and left one missing. The death in northern Iraq occurred while attempting to neutralize an Iranian drone that had been downed. These incidents are part of a broader pattern of Iranian attacks, including unverified reports of 10–15 ballistic missiles fired at US bases in Jordan and 30 US soldiers wounded over the past week, as previously reported by The Zioneer.
The identification of the remains found in Jordan is still ongoing, and it remains unclear whether the N12 report's count of three includes the previously confirmed deaths or represents new fatalities. The specific details of the third soldier's death have not been released.
