The U.S. Army has identified Pvt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Hawaii, and Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Texas, as the two American service members killed in last week's Iranian ballistic missile strike on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan. The identification, reported by N12, updates earlier reports that had named only one of the fallen soldiers.
On Sunday, N12 reported the full identification of both American soldiers killed in the Iranian strike on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan last Friday. The soldiers are Pvt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Hawaii, and Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Texas. This update completes the naming of the two fallen service members, following earlier reports that had identified only one.
The identification process evolved through several stages on Sunday. At 06:44 Jerusalem, The Zioneer first reported a congressman's claim about the attack. The DoD then identified both soldiers, followed by the Pentagon specifically naming Pvt. Gonzales. Israeli media reported her name with a spelling variation. The U.S. Military officially identified Pvt. Gonzales. The Zioneer also reported that the two soldiers included a male and a female. Finally, N12 reported the full identification of both.
The Zioneer previously reported that the two soldiers killed in the attack included a male and a female, based on initial information. The U.S. Army later confirmed the identities.
No open questions remain regarding the identification of the two soldiers.
