Earlier Tuesday, the Jordanian General Intelligence Directorate (GID) announced the uncovering of several “plots targeting national security that began in 2021, arresting 16 individuals suspected of manufacturing rockets and drones and planning attacks.

The operation, which had been under continuous surveillance since 2021, exposed coordinated efforts to manufacture short-range missiles, build drones, and carry out sabotage inside the Kingdom.

Authorities said the suspects had been developing and hiding weaponry including explosives, automatic firearms, and a fully assembled missile ready for use.

“The covert activities had been underway for nearly four years,” government spokesperson Momani said, describing it as a “multi-year threat to national security.”
