Jordan's air defences were ready to intercept and shoot down any Iranian drones or aircraft that violate its airspace, two regional security sources said.

They said the army was also in a state of high alert and radar systems were monitoring any drone activity coming from the direction of Iraq and Syria.

Residents in several cities in the northern part of the country near Syria and central and southern areas heard heavy aerial activity. A security source said the country's air force was intensifying reconnaissance flights.

Jordan had earlier said it closed its airspace starting on Saturday night to all incoming, departing and transiting aircraft in what officials told Reuters were precautionary measures in the event of an Iranian strike across its border.

Good to hear.

The attack is on. So far over 100 Iranian drones have been launched at Israel. No report on how many hit.

Iran launches massive drone and missile attack against Israel
JERUSALEM — Iran launched a massive attack fleet of missiles and more than 100 unmanned drones toward Israel late Saturday, a stunning assault that put the Israeli military on high alert and threatened to unleash more violence in an already turbulent region. Interceptions by Israel’s sophisticated air and missile defense systems began early Sunday, causing loud booms over Jerusalem and air raid sirens to sound across the country.

The military warned citizens to brace for an attack of undetermined scale, as combat aircraft filled the sky over much of Israel. Officials closed schools and banned large gatherings as some airports in the region halted operations. U.S. forces also took down Iranian attack drones, said U.S. officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.

And Israel Defense Forces spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, said in brief remarks that it would take several hours for the drones to reach Israel, leaving citizens to endure a dread-filled countdown until the early hours of Sunday. Many families had already heeded warning to equip safe rooms and shelters with water and food. The military said it had lifted a shield of fighter planes and air-defense systems over Israel and intended to intercept as many of the aircraft as it could before they entered Israeli airspace.
