Three US Soldiers Killed and Dozens Wounded in Drone Attack on Base in Jordan
The White House announced Sunday that three U.S. servicemembers were killed and “many wounded” in a drone attack at Tower 22 in Jordan near the border with Syria. The attack is the first one to kill U.S. troops out of over one hundred-fifty attacks on U.S. bases and ships in the Middle East since the October 7 jihad massacre attack on Israel by Hamas. Several Americans were killed in the October 7 attack, several more were taken hostage by Hamas and are still being held in captivity. Earlier this month two Navy SEALs drowned while boarding a ship off the coast of Somalia to intercept Iranian weapons bound for Houthi terrorists in Yemen.
U.S. Central Command released a statement that twenty-five troops were also wounded in the attack.
