Israel and Jordan intercepted Iranian missiles targeting Aqaba, Jordan, with the US also involved in the interception efforts. The Jordanian military reported intercepting three of four missiles, with the fourth falling in a remote area, causing no casualties or damage. The Israeli military, which intercepted missile debris over Eilat, warned of potential "spillover" into Israeli territory and briefly delayed flights at Ramon Airport. Jordanian officials denied earlier reports of an evacuation of Aqaba's airport and seaport, with a government spokesman stating, "authorities have not issued any decisions to evacuate Aqaba Airport or the seaport, and both are operating normally." Jordan summoned Iran's Chargé d'Affaires, condemning the missile strikes as a violation of its sovereignty. This incident follows the deaths of two U.S. service members in a separate Iranian ballistic missile and drone attack in Jordan, prompting retaliatory U.S. airstrikes.
