I'd say the Jordanian based US troops getting hit is news primarily because it illustrates the scope of the conflict is growing. This isn't just a fight in Gaza anymore. It isn't just a shootout with Yemen. Now we've got yet another US ally where bombs are sporadically dropping onto US soldiers' heads.

Like, if I was part of CENTCOM and my job was to grind the bones of the Arab working class to make my bread, this sort of shit would keep me up at night in the way Israel-doing-warcrimes-again didn't.
