Used Iranian missile FOR SALE in Jordan 

ALBAWABA - Amid the Iranian drone and rocket attack on Israel under "Operation True Promise", a missile was spotted for sale in Jordan after its remnants fell onto the country's soil.
The Iranian missile in question became the talk of Jordanian users across social media platforms after a video of it was shared by citizens who resided in the area where its remains dropped. Its remains were specifically dropped in Marj Al Hamam, Amman where it was seen lying next to a car. Hours after the incident occurred, a person allegedly took to one of Jordan's online stores called the OpenSooq and put up the missile for sale for a whopping JOD 1,200 (equivalent to $1700) although we tried searching for the listing but reached no results on the platform.

Jordanian users across social media platforms poked fun at the matter with many calling the listing "fake" which doesn't come as a surprise since we couldn't locate it anywhere across OpenSooq.
It was later revealed that the picture above was fabricated in Photoshop and was made for comedic purposes only as the necessary action of collecting the remnants was conducted by Jordan's authorities after the incident occurred.
According to the Jordanian Civil Aviation Regulatory Authority, Iran's decision to attack Israel under the name "Operation Honest Promise" came after the country attacked the Iranian consulate in Syria which resulted in a response of drones and attacks that flew across Jordan causing even more international concern.

Jordan officials added, "To preserve the safety and security of civil aviation in Jordanian airspace, in light of the escalation of surrounding risks in the region, and after assessing the risks in accordance with internationally followed standard".
