Jordan says 'Israeli settlers' attacked Gaza-bound aid convoy
"This requires a serious Israeli intervention and no leniency in dealing with those who obstruct these convoys," a Jordanian government spokesman told Reuters. Jordan said "Israeli settlers" attacked a Gaza-bound aid convoy on Wednesday in the second such incident in days, accusing Israel of failing to act firmly to prevent repeated assaults. The convoy, carrying 30 trucks of humanitarian aid, was delayed in its arrival in a violation of signed agreements, government spokesman Mohammad al-Momani told Reuters. "This requires a serious Israeli intervention and no leniency in dealing with those who obstruct these convoys," Momani said. Tzav 9 activists prevent aid from entering Gaza Activists reportedly slashed the tires of two humanitarian aid trucks leaving Jordan for Gaza at the Allenby Bridge on Sunday night, Israeli media reported. The trucks were forced to turn back and return to Jordan. Separately, Tzav 9 activists, including friends of Gaza hostage Rom Braslavski, blocked aid from entering the Gaza Strip earlier this week. One of the activists, who, like Braslavski, served as a security officer at the Nova music festival on October 7, 2023, referred to the footage of Braslavski published by Palestinian Islamic Jihad over the weekend. "Rom should have been back with me in the car after the party; he's starving in captivity while food aid is being transferred," he said.

Missiles and drones: Inside Jordan's unraveled ‘chaos cell'
Shafaq News/ Jordanian authorities on Tuesday unveiled the dismantling of a "dangerous cell" accused of plotting attacks against national security, following a sweeping four-year security operation. During a press conference, Government Spokesperson and Minister of Government Communications Mohammad al-Momani announced the arrest of 16 individuals linked to four separate cases involving short-range missile production, high-explosive storage, automatic weapons possession, and drone manufacturing. In the first case, a four-member cell allegedly smuggled and stockpiled explosives and automatic weapons. One suspect reportedly hid a Katyusha rocket in the Marj al-Hamam area, primed and ready for use. The second case targeted three suspects who were building missiles using both local and imported components. Authorities raided two warehouses in Amman and Zarqa—one reinforced with concrete and equipped with hidden rooms. According to al-Momani, the group had secured foreign funding and training. In the third case, suspects engineered drones with technical support from overseas sources and successfully produced a functioning prototype. The fourth case involved recruiting, training, and dispatching individuals abroad to execute planned attacks aimed at undermining Jordan's security. All 16 suspects have been referred to the State Security Court. Al-Momani stressed that Jordan's security forces will 'continue working to protect the kingdom and confront any threat to its sovereignty and stability.'

BBC travels with first Jordanian helicopter delivering aid inside Gaza
Jordanian helicopters have begun deliveries of aid to Gaza - the first since the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was declared. The scene from the air reveals itself out of the midday haze - grey ruins and a lifeless landscape. As we land, the Jordanian air force men jump out first and make sure there is someone from the World Food Programme to receive the aid. A solitary figure in a hi-vis jacket approaches. Next to a barbed wire fence two trucks are waiting to bring the aid into nearby Khan Younis. There are no formalities. The aid is quickly unloaded. All the time the helicopter rotors keep turning. There is a sense of real urgency - there are 14 more helicopters waiting to follow us to the landing zone. The BBC was allowed to join the mission, which landed in Israeli-held territory in southern Gaza between the Israeli border and the town of Wadi al-Salqa. Although this is just the edge of the conflict zone, the area next to the landing strip resembles a wasteland after 15 months of war. I saw what appeared to be Israeli digging machines working in the area. The Jordanians deployed 16 helicopters for Tuesday's operation. They are delivering medical supplies and baby formula which could spoil if transported on a long road journey. The Jordanian government's official spokesman, Dr Mohammad al-Momani, told me the scenes of human suffering in Gaza were "horrific... and inhumane". He said Jordan was joining with the international community to try and alleviate suffering.
