Summary
Pentagon officials said Army Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, was among the U.S. servicemembers killed Friday in an Iranian strike on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan.
Gonzales was supporting Operation Inherent Resolve and was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 57th Air Defense Artillery Regiment in Ansbach, Germany.
Carrollton friends said the Hebron High School graduate had left for boot camp a year ago and was planning a September visit home before the attack upended that reunion.
Her identification adds a personal toll to a wider escalation: the U.S. had already reported three servicemember deaths after the Iran ceasefire collapsed, with 17 killed and more than 430 wounded overall.
