The operatives, reported to be wearing Jordanian military uniforms, were killed by Israeli occupation forces. The incident, described by some as an act of defiance against the ongoing Israeli occupation, occurred near Neot HaKikar, a settlement located just three kilometers from the Jordanian border.

According to Israeli media, Israeli forces killed two of the Jordanians involved in the operation and launched an extensive search for a third operative who is believed to have escaped during the exchange of fire. The Israeli military, in coordination with its air force, has deployed ground and aerial forces in a bid to capture the remaining operative.

While Israeli sources have framed this event as a security breach, for many in the region, it highlights the deep-rooted frustration and anger toward the occupation and its brutal policies. The Dead Sea area, part of the illegally occupied Palestinian territories, remains a flashpoint in the broader conflict, as Palestinian lands continue to be appropriated and annexed by Israeli settlers under the protection of occupation forces.

This act of resistance echoes previous incidents of cross-border confrontations, including a similar attack in September when a Jordanian truck driver shot and killed three Israeli settlers at the Allenby Bridge crossing. For many in the region, such acts are seen as retaliation against the ever-growing oppression of Palestinians and the encroachment on their land by settlers and occupation forces.

Jordan, a nation with a long history of solidarity with the Palestinian cause, continues to grapple with the contradictions of its political agreements with Israel and its support for the Palestinian struggle. While the Jordanian government has maintained diplomatic relations with Israel, the public and many sectors within Jordan remain deeply opposed to the normalization of ties with a state seen as occupying Palestinian territories and perpetrating systemic violence against Palestinians.

The latest incident is a reflection of the escalating tensions between the occupation and its neighboring countries. The presence of Jordanian operatives in this operation sends a clear signal that the struggle for Palestinian liberation continues to inspire resistance across the region. While Israel deploys its military might to protect illegal settlements and enforce its occupation, the enduring spirit of resistance among Palestinians and their supporters, whether within the borders of occupied Palestine or from neighboring countries like Jordan, remains steadfast.

As the occupation deepens and Israeli forces expand their control over Palestinian lands, the situation grows increasingly volatile. Acts of resistance, such as the one witnessed on Friday, serve as a reminder that the Palestinian cause resonates far beyond Gaza and the West Bank, inspiring solidarity from across the region. The people of Palestine, despite decades of occupation and aggression, continue to find support in the form of courageous actions from individuals and groups in neighboring countries like Jordan, highlighting the collective resolve to confront Israeli expansionism and achieve justice for Palestinians.

Ultimately, incidents like these reflect the broader reality of the conflict — as long as the occupation persists, acts of resistance will continue, and the call for Palestinian liberation will only grow louder, resonating from the hills of the West Bank to the streets of Amman, and beyond. (ILKHA)
