Five military aircraft deliver 35 tonnes of humanitarian aid into Gaza — JAF
In a statement on Tuesday, the Jordan Armed Forces – Arab Army (JAF) said the operation included one aircraft from the Royal Jordanian Air Force, joined by aircraft from the United Arab Emirates, France, and two from Germany.
