It looks like a predicted (and incorrect) position because there's not been a signal received in a while.
GPS jamming is causing planes to appear where they are not.
I've not seen any evidence of that, and it's obviously a predicted path in this case

Very much feels like a

What a disastrous state of affairs we live in.

By Middle Eastern standards, this drone attack seems more like a strongly worded 9 hour statement than a war, unless I'm missing something
yes "Don't bomb our consulates please, kindest regards, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei".

Like when they bombed a US military base in retaliation for the murder of one of their generals, but told them they'd be doing it to limit the damage.
Iranian statement to the UN:

"Conducted on the strength of Article 51 of the UN Charter pertaining to legitimate defense, Iran’s military action was in response to the Zionist regime’s aggression against our diplomatic premises in Damascus. The matter can be deemed concluded. However, should the Israeli regime make another mistake, Iran’s response will be considerably more severe. It is a conflict between Iran and the rogue Israeli regime, from which the U.S. MUST STAY AWAY!"

Bit optimistic.

Sky says US just shot down a drone and Golan Heights residents to take shelter.

US and UK shooting down drones. Some over Jordan and some over Syria.

GPS spoofing regularly puts aircraft positions in the region onto a small scrap of grass off the runway in Beirut airport.

Gpsjam.org has a good up to date jamming map.

Shame the RAF jets couldn't defend the British aid workers who were killed by Israel drone strikes.

Actually shame they couldn't help enforce international law when water and electricity was being removed from innocent civilians.

They're one step away from deploying the pile-of-poo and middle-finger emoticons. We're staring into the abyss.

Ok. I'm confused.

What did Iran fire at Israel?
Did they send anything more than a few moped-powered drones with all the cruising speed and explosive power of a clapped out Vespa?
Did Jordan get involved?
Is this anything more than a storm in a teacup (as was suggested earlier)?

Just watched 30 ish flashes of light in the sky on BBC over Jerusalem. Only one large flash which was presumably a drone exploding as opposed to being shot down.

So did only 30 get through?

Do the Israelis not have enough aircraft? Why are we defending them, other than to make London a target for extremists? This is very dangerous.
