The interceptions were carried out in response to military assessments indicating a high probability that the projectiles would fall on Jordanian territory, including populated areas, posing a significant threat to civilian lives and property.

The Jordanian Armed Forces continue to operate around the clock to defend the country’s borders by land, sea, and air, the source added, stressing that any violation of Jordan’s airspace will not be tolerated.

Citizens were urged not to spread rumors or unverified reports that may cause panic, and to rely solely on official sources for information.
