The deadly drone strike in Jordan is only the latest sign of how violence in and around Gaza is dragging the US deeper into Middle East conflict.

Amid nearly 200 attacks on US targets in Yemen, Syria, and Iraq since 7 Oct, ACLED counts at least 61 incidents of US airstrikes against ‘axis of resistance’ targets in the Middle East. This compares to just 12 airstrikes in the preceding nine months.
