Jordan secures return of two citizens detained after King Hussein Bridge shooting

Jordan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates announced the return of two Jordanian citizens, Musleh Al-Oudat and Hussein Al-Naimat, to the Kingdom.

This comes after they were detained following a shooting incident on the Palestinian side of the King Hussein Bridge, which is controlled by the Israeli Occupation, on Sept. 8.

The ministry's official spokesperson, Ambassador Dr. Sufyan Qudah, confirmed that the ministry had been closely monitoring the situation since the incident, coordinating with the relevant Jordanian authorities to ensure their swift return.

He also noted that both citizens have now entered Jordanian territory, are in good health, and are on their way to reunite with their families.
