Funeral ceremonies

According to the semi-official Mehrnews agency, funeral ceremonies were held for the remains of 32 girls who were among 168 children killed in an attack on the school on February 28, when the US and Israel launched the war.

Mehrsaid the bodies were identified through DNA testing before being returned to their families.

Earlier on Wednesday, Jordan’s military said it intercepted four of six Iranian missiles launched towards the kingdom, while two others fell in remote, uninhabited areas without causing casualties or damage.

In a separate statement, the military said that air force aircraft also intercepted and shot down four drones launched from Iran towards the kingdom, adding that the operation caused no casualties or material damage.

The US has been carrying out a series of strikes across Iran since last week, while Tehran has responded with strikes targeting facilities and bases it says are used by the US military in several countries across the region.

The exchange of fire has continued despite a Pakistani-brokered framework agreement signed by the US and Iran in June to end the war that began in February and pave the way for a lasting peace deal.
