Jordanian jets downed dozens of Iranian drones flying across northern and central Jordan heading to Israel, two regional security sources say in a dramatic show of support from Amman, which has heavily criticized Israel’s prosecution of its war in Gaza.

The sources say the drones were brought down in the air on the Jordanian side of the Jordan Valley and were heading in the direction of Jerusalem. Others were intercepted close to the Iraqi-Syrian border. They give no further details.
