Jordan condemns extremist Ben Gvir's al-Aqsa storming as "flagrant violation"
Amman – Saba: The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates on Wednesday strongly condemned the storming of al-Aqsa Mosque/al-Haram al-Sharif by Israeli extremist Criminal Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, under police protection. Jordan deemed it a "flagrant violation of international law," an "unacceptable escalation," and a provocation demanding immediate cessation. Ministry spokesperson Ambassador Sufian al-Qudah affirmed Jordan's absolute rejection of extremist Ben Gvir's continued incursions and the Israeli police's facilitation of repeated al-Aqsa breaches, alongside restrictions on Muslim worshippers. He stated this violates the historical and legal status quo and attempts temporal and spatial division, emphasizing that East al-Quds remains an occupied city without Israeli sovereignty. Ambassador al-Qudah warned of the consequences of these illegitimate violations against holy sites in al-Quds, urging Israeli enemy to halt all provocative practices by Ben Gvir, which continue the "dangerous escalation" in the occupied West Bank. He reiterated that the entire 144-dunam al-Aqsa Mosque area is exclusively for Muslim worship, with the Jordanian-affiliated al-Quds Endowments Department holding sole administrative jurisdiction.

Yemen : Israel Says Intercepts Drone Claimed by Houthis
Israel's military said Friday it had intercepted an incoming UAV while a military source in Jordan said another drone had crashed there, as Iran-backed Houthis claimed the attacks. 'A short while ago, a UAV (drone) that was on its way to Israeli territory from the east was intercepted by the IAF (Israeli air force),' the Israeli military said in a statement, without elaborating. Since the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas erupted in October 2023, the Houthis have repeatedly launched drone and missile attacks at Israel, many of which have been intercepted before entering Israeli airspace. Houthi rebels in Yemen, claiming to be acting in solidarity with the Palestinians, stated on their official website that they had launched two drones 'targeting two Israeli military targets in the occupied Jaffa area' south of Tel Aviv. The Houthis 'assure to the oppressed Palestinian people that they are committed to their pledge of support and assistance, will not retreat, and will not stop,' the statement said. In Israel's eastern neighbor Jordan, several media outlets reported that Israel's military had intercepted a Yemeni drone over the Dead Sea. A Jordanian military source said an unidentified drone breached the country's airspace and crashed in the Ma'in area of Madaba Governorate, some 30 kilometers (20 miles) southwest of the capital Amman. No casualties were reported, but falling debris ignited a fire in the wooded area where it came down. Jordanian military personnel and civil defense teams extinguished the blaze.
