It is possible that as a result of the fire, there will be spillover into Israeli territory,” the statement said. As a result, it said, alerts may be activated in southern Israel. "Should a siren be sounded, the public is instructed to enter a protected space and remain there until further notice.”The IDF also said that “as of this time, there is no change to the Home Front Command's guidelines. Should there be any further changes following a situational assessment, the public will be updated accordingly.” GalleryRockets heading to Aqaba intercepted over Eilat(Photo: Use under Section 27A of the Copyright Law)In Eilat, residents reported hearing explosions.A Royal Jordanian plane traveling from Cairo to Aqaba was held in the air, as was a flight from the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, to Sharm el-Sheikh in Sinai.

We strongly advise all Americans to avoid traveling to the airport or seaport, and to avoid traveling to military bases in Jordan.”Jordanian government spokesperson Mohammad al-Momani said: “Aqaba airport and seaport are operating as usual. Any potential danger is being handled by the relevant Jordanian authorities. No threats have been recorded by the authorities in recent hours. The authorities have not issued evacuation orders for Aqaba airport or the port.”Before that, Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization accused the Americans of attacking “the Darkhovin nuclear power plant, which is under construction.” The power plant is apparently located in Khuzestan province in southwestern Iran.
