An Arabic-language the source alleges that the attack on the US military base in Jordan, which killed several American soldiers, was carried out using a Hajj Qasem surface-to-surface ballistic missile.

An unverified report from the Arabic-language the source 'Abu Saleh' claims that the attack on the US military base in Jordan, which resulted in the deaths of several American soldiers, was carried out using a Hajj Qasem surface-to-surface ballistic missile. The channel provided no additional details, and the report has not been independently corroborated.
The attack on the base, which sources identify as the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, occurred earlier this week. The US Army confirmed at 20:20 Jerusalem time on Saturday that two American soldiers were killed in the Iranian missile strike, as The Zioneer reported. The new claim adds a specific weapon type to the attack narrative.
The Hajj Qasem missile is a ballistic missile developed by Iran, named after former Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani. Iranian reports have previously claimed its use in attacks on US forces in the region.
The claim remains unverified, and no official confirmation from the US military or Jordanian authorities has been released. The Zioneer has not independently verified the report.
