Iran launched four ballistic missiles at the Jordanian resort city of Aqaba a short time ago, according to a report. Shrapnel from two intercepted missiles landed near the border between Aqaba and Eilat. Further details on casualties or damage are not yet available.
A short time ago, a report indicated that Iran launched four ballistic missiles toward the Jordanian city of Aqaba, with shrapnel from two intercepted missiles landing near the border between Aqaba and the Israeli city of Eilat. This follows a series of Iranian attacks on Jordan earlier today. At 10:59 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Iran launched ballistic missiles toward Aqaba and US forces intercepted two over Jordan. By 11:10 Jerusalem, the Jordanian military confirmed it had intercepted four out of six missiles, with two landing in uninhabited areas, and later reported intercepting four additional drones. The new report suggests a possible second wave or continuation of the same barrage. Jerusalem and Amman have not yet commented on this latest development. Details on impacts and casualties remain unconfirmed.
Earlier today, at 10:59 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Iran launched ballistic missiles toward Aqaba, with US forces intercepting two over Jordan. By 11:10 Jerusalem, the Jordanian military confirmed it had intercepted four out of six missiles, with two landing in uninhabited areas, and later reported intercepting four additional drones. The IDF confirmed that no missiles struck Israeli territory and that no Iron Dome interceptors were launched, with debris from the Jordanian interception not falling in Israel. Initial reports indicated Israel did not participate in the interceptions over Jordan, a departure from previous incidents.
As The Zioneer reported on Mon Jul 20, 21:12 Jerusalem, Iran launched four ballistic missiles toward Aqaba in a previous incident. The current attack follows a pattern of Iranian missile launches targeting Jordan, including a reported launch of 10 ballistic missiles at a base in Jordan on Thu Jul 9, 16:27 Jerusalem, and a launch of three Sejjil missiles at Jordan's Al Azraq air base on Tue Jul 21, 11:42 Jerusalem.
It remains unclear whether the latest report of four ballistic missiles represents a separate second wave or is a continuation of the same barrage reported earlier. No official confirmation from Israel or Jordan has been received regarding this specific report, and details on any casualties or damage are still unverified.
