Fox News reporter Stephanie Bennett has more on the rising tension in the Middle East on'Fox News Live.' Three U.S. service members were killed and 25 others were injured in a drone attack on an outpost in northeast Jordan near the Syria border, U.S. Central Command confirmed on Sunday. "On Jan. 28, three U.S. service members were killed and 25 injured from a one-way attack UAS that impacted at a base in northeast Jordan, near the Syria border. As a matter of respect for the families and in accordance with DoD policy, the identities of the servicemembers will be withheld until 24 hours after their next of kin have been notified," CENTCOM said. "Updates will be provided as they become available," it added. The White House says President Biden was briefed Sunday morning by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, and Principal Deputy National Security Advisor Jon Finer about the attack, which marked a significant escalation in the Middle East as the first time American troops have been killed by enemy fire in the region since the Israel-Hamas war began.
