Amman: Jordan condemned on Saturday an Israeli strike on a Lebanese army patrol on the Khardali-Nabatieh road in southern Lebanon, which left three soldiers, including two high-ranking officers, dead.
According to Jordan News Agency, the Ministry of Foreign and Expatriate Affairs described the attack as "a blatant violation of the sovereignty, security, and stability of brotherly Lebanon, and a flagrant breach of international law." The Ministry emphasized the urgent need for an immediate halt to Israeli attacks on Lebanon, advocating for the consolidation of a ceasefire agreement and full compliance with UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
The Ministry's official spokesperson, Fouad Majali, reaffirmed Jordan's steadfast support for Lebanon's security, stability, sovereignty, and the safety of its citizens. Majali also highlighted Jordan's backing for the Lebanese government's efforts to assert its sovereignty over all Lebanese territory, reactivate its national institutions, and ensure that weapons remain solely in the hands of the state.
Majali extended his condolences to the government and people of Lebanon, as well as to the families of the victims.
