Iran Fires Missiles at Jordan's Aqaba Near Eilat, Explosions Heard in Israel

On Wednesday morning, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) detected Iranian missile launches targeting the city of Aqaba in Jordan, located near the Israeli city of Eilat. Following the missile barrage, air raid sirens were activated in Aqaba, and residents in Eilat reported hearing explosions across the city. Footage captured missile impacts in Jordan close to the border, but the IDF confirmed no missile debris or impacts were detected within Israeli territory. Israeli security officials warned of the risk of missile fragments or direct hits crossing into Israeli land due to the close proximity of Aqaba to southern Israel's Arava region. No interceptors were launched during the incident. Aqaba lies on the Gulf of Aqaba, directly adjacent to Israel, heightening security concerns over such missile activity in the area.
