Hamas: We Have No Connection to Actions Targeting Jordan

Today, Wednesday, the Hamas movement expressed its disapproval of media leaks suggesting its involvement in what has been described as "destructive" actions planned to be carried out in Jordan. Hamas confirmed in a statement that "the movement has no connection to any actions targeting Jordan, and it does not interfere in the internal affairs of countries." A responsible source stated that "Jordanian security agencies thwarted an attempt to smuggle weapons into the kingdom, sent by militias supported by one of the countries to a cell in Jordan." The source explained that "the quantity was seized when members of the cell, who are Jordanians, were arrested in late March," noting that "investigations and operations are still ongoing to uncover more related to this operation." The source added that "in recent months, security agencies have thwarted numerous attempts to smuggle weapons, including Claymore mines, C4 explosives, Semtex, Kalashnikov rifles, and 107mm Katyusha rockets."
