IDF Intercepts Drones Near Jordan Border Amid Regional Tensions
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) intercepted two drones near the Jordanian border on Monday morning before they could enter Israeli airspace. The IDF is currently investigating the source of the drone launches, and no alerts were activated during the incident. This event follows a similar occurrence last week when the Israeli Air Force intercepted a drone near the Syrian border. Additionally, last Wednesday, explosions were reported in Eilat after missiles were launched from Iran towards Aqaba, Jordan. The Jordanian military intercepted four out of six missiles, with the remaining two landing in uninhabited areas, causing no damage or injuries. These incidents have led to flight delays in the region, affecting routes from Ben Gurion Airport to Eilat and from Abu Dhabi to Tel Aviv. In response to the escalating tensions, Israel's expanded security cabinet convened on Sunday evening.
