The Israel Defense Forces fired interceptors over the southern city of Eilat as Iranian missiles targeted the nearby Jordanian city of Aqaba, according to reports. Warning sirens sounded across Jordan, followed by interceptions of Iranian missiles by Jordanian forces.
Increased cooperation with the U.S. has put Jordan in Iran's crosshairs.
Jordan summoned the Iranian ambassador following the missile strikes, which included a missile that hit Aqaba Airport. The Israel Air Force reportedly fired Iron Dome interceptors at fragments from an Iranian missile launched at Jordan.
Jordan says it intercepted three Iranian missiles.
The interceptions occurred shortly after warning sirens sounded across the country, according to reports. The incidents highlight escalating tensions as Iran targets Jordan, which some observers attribute to increased cooperation with the United States.
