Jordan’s Public Security Directorate says its air defenses intercepted missiles and drones as Iran attacked Israel.

“The Royal Jordanian Air Force and air defense systems responded to a number of missiles and drones that entered Jordanian airspace,” a statement says.

Israel has said some 180 ballistic missiles were fired from Iran during the attack earlier this evening.
