The U.S. military said a third body was recovered at the site in Jordan struck by Iranian missiles. The update was first published at 10:24 p.m. Israel time on July 19 and last modified ten minutes later. It changed the previously reported status of two U.S. service members killed and a third missing after the July 17 attack. The initial recovery notice did not identify the person, describe the recovery operation, revise the number of wounded, or provide a timeline for identification and family notification.
