Jordan rejected on Saturday all attempts to involve the country in the regional conflict by violating its airspace, Petra, the news agency of Jordan said on Saturday.
Jordan’s government official spokesperson, Dr. Mohammed al-Momani stressed in a statement that Jordan rejects attempts by “some parties in the region” to violate its airspace, especially by launching drones.
He said some of these drones have entered the Kingdom's airspace and parts and structures of which fell inside Jordanian territory recently.
He described these breaches as a significant "threat", assuring that Jordan’s armed forces will not hesitate to address such breaches according to its military rules of engagement.
The Kingdom is implementing all "necessary" measures to confront these violations effectively, Momani said.
Over the past two months, an exchange of projectiles between Iran and Iraqi factions on one side, and Israel on the other, flew in the sky over Jordan. Jordan is located at the midpoint between the two.

Germany calls on Israel to let more humanitarian aid into north Gaza, where a lack of supplies has led to a "desperate" and "unbearable" situation, a spokesperson for the German foreign ministry said on Monday.

"We call on the Israeli government urgently to meet its responsibilities under international law," the spokesperson told a regular news conference in Berlin.

"Israel has the right to self-defense against Hamas within the framework of humanitarian international law," he added.

The spokesperson was responding to a question about an ultimatum set by Washington for Israel to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza this month or face potential restrictions on US military aid.
