Under royal directives, a Royal Jordanian Air Force C130 aircraft departed on Monday to evacuate Jordanian citizens from Lebanon, following the escalation of events in the country – a statement from the Jordanian Armed Forces (JAF) said.

The evacuation is being coordinated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, as part of Jordan’s efforts to ensure the safe return of its nationals during crises.

The kingdom is utilizing all available resources to guarantee the safety of its citizens and ensure their secure return home, added the statement.
