The Israeli military reported Sunday that Iran launched ballistic missiles towards Aqaba, Jordan, warning of potential spillover into Israeli territory. The IDF stated, "There may be spillover into Israeli territory as a result of the fire," and confirmed that interceptor fragments fell in northern Eilat with no reported injuries. This occurred as the US conducted its eighth night of strikes against Iran following attacks on US bases in Jordan.
