Report: Sirens in Jordan were a military exercise

A report on Sunday afternoon describes the sirens that sounded in Jordan as a military exercise. The source of the report was not identified.

A report circulated on Sunday afternoon states that the sirens heard in Jordan were part of a military exercise. The brief message, written in Hebrew, did not specify the source of the information or which branch conducted the drill. The Zioneer previously reported on June 14 that Jordanian authorities had attributed earlier sirens to a technical malfunction, and on July 21 that sirens were activated in Jordan twice within an hour. The new report does not reference those earlier events, and it remains unclear whether this exercise is related to them.
