A security source has confirmed that the drones intercepted at the Jordan border yesterday were launched from Iraq, and that the drone intercepted today also appears to have been launched from there, according to Yediot news.
Just before 10:26 Jerusalem, a security source confirmed to Yediot news that the drones intercepted at the Jordan border yesterday were launched from Iraq, and that the drone intercepted today also appears to have been launched from there. The confirmation follows a series of developments this morning, during which The Zioneer reported at 09:29 Jerusalem on multiple drone launches toward Israel and Jordan.
The Zioneer had earlier reported on the interceptions: at 11:02 Jerusalem yesterday, the IDF confirmed intercepting drones over the Jordan border, stating they did not cross into Israeli territory. Subsequently, Jordan's military announced it had intercepted drones in its airspace. The security source's confirmation now provides an attribution for the origin of these launches.
The source did not provide details on the specific launch sites within Iraq or the type of drones used. The origin of today's drone remains under formal assessment, though the source indicated it likely follows the same launch pattern as yesterday's.
This development comes amid a broader regional context of drone and missile attacks from Iraq toward Israel and Jordan, as The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks. The exact launch sites and the full extent of the threat remain unconfirmed.
