RIYADH: Saudi Arabia on Wednesday supported all actions taken by Jordan to foil any attempts to undermine its security and incite chaos.
The Foreign Ministry, in a statement, affirmed the Kingdom’s support for the measures taken by the Jordanian government and reiterated its solidarity with Jordan against anything that may affect its security and stability.
“Saudi Arabia praises the measures taken by the security authorities in the sisterly Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan to thwart plots aimed at undermining Jordan’s security and inciting chaos,” said the statement.
Jordan announced on Tuesday that it had arrested 16 individuals who were trained and funded in Lebanon and were planning attacks within the kingdom using rockets and drones.
According to Jordanian authorities, security forces had been monitoring the operation since 2021, and at least one rocket was prepared for launch before the suspects were apprehended.
Jordan’s General Intelligence Department (GID) has announced referring all the cases to the State Security Court for the necessary legal action.
A drone factory was also found, according to the statement that was released on state media.
Communications Minister Mohammed al-Momani told reporters that the 16 suspects were divided into four cells with separate assignments.
