Pro-Iranian Iraqi militias launched a drone toward Israel this morning and later also toward Jordan, according to a regional security monitoring channel. The report adds attribution to drone activity reported earlier today.
A regional security monitoring channel reported Tuesday morning that pro-Iranian Iraqi militias launched a drone toward Israel and later also toward Jordan. The report, attributed to analyst Aviv L. by the channel '301 The Arab World on Telegram,' provides a specific attribution to the drone activity reported earlier today. No details were provided on the type of drone, whether it was intercepted, or the extent of the operation.
The new report follows a sequence of developments on Monday and Tuesday. At 09:29 Jerusalem on Tuesday, unverified reports indicated multiple drone launches toward Israel and Jordan. The IDF assessed with high probability on Monday at 22:29 Jerusalem that Iraqi Shiite militia operatives were responsible for drones intercepted near the Dead Sea and Mount Hermon, according to a military source. Earlier on Monday at 11:02 Jerusalem, a security source confirmed that drones intercepted at the Jordan border were launched from Iraq. The new attribution aligns with and strengthens that assessment.
The incident is part of an ongoing pattern of drone and missile attacks by pro-Iranian militias in Iraq targeting Israel, often transiting Jordanian airspace. As The Zioneer reported on June 8, 2026, missiles were observed over northern Iraq amid regional tensions, and Iranian-backed militias have since escalated their activity. The Zioneer also reported on July 19 that pro-Iranian channels published footage of launches toward Kuwait, indicating the widening scope of such operations.
The IDF and Home Front Command have not yet issued an official statement regarding this specific report. The fate of the drone—whether it was intercepted, crashed, or reached its target—remains unconfirmed. The reported second launch toward Jordan also awaits official confirmation.
