Iranian missile aimed at Jordan's Aqaba intercepted by Israeli and Jordanian forces
Israeli and Jordanian forces intercepted an Iranian missile targeting the Jordanian city of Aqaba on Sunday. Shrapnel from the interception fell in Israel, causing no injuries but raising concerns of escalating war.
The Israeli military reported that on Sunday, it jointly intercepted an Iranian missile headed for the Jordanian city of Aqaba with Jordanian forces. Fragments from the interception landed on Israeli territory, causing property damage but no casualties.
The incident has heightened fears of a broader regional conflict. While no official statement from Iran has been made, there is a growing sense in Israel that the war is expanding. This marks the first time an Iranian missile has directly targeted a Jordanian city, potentially widening the scope of the conflict beyond the immediate Israel-Palestine area.
