The Jordanian army says that 240 missiles and drones have targeted the kingdom since the Middle East war began last month, most of which were intercepted.
“The total number of missiles and drones fired towards the kingdom since the start of the war has reached 240,” the army says in a statement.
“The Royal Air Force successfully intercepted and destroyed 222 missiles and drones, while 18 missiles and drones were not intercepted by the air defences,” it adds.
The military’s media office, meanwhile, says 36 missiles and drones have targeted the kingdom over the past week.
“Fourteen missiles and 21 drones were intercepted and destroyed, while defences were unable to thwart one attack,” it adds.
Since the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran on February 28, the Islamic Republic has struck countries across the region, including Jordan.
Iran has targeted US interests in the region, but attacks have also hit civilian infrastructure.
Jordan has recorded no deaths since the start of the war, with health authorities previously reporting 29 injured, all of whom have since been discharged from the hospital.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
