Amman, June 6 (Petra) – Jordan condemned on Saturday an Israeli
strike on a Lebanese army patrol on the Khardali-Nabatieh road in
southern Lebanon, which left three soldiers, including two
high-ranking officers, dead.

The Ministry of Foreign and Expatriate Affairs said the attack is “a
blatant violation of the sovereignty, security, and stability of
brotherly Lebanon, and a flagrant breach of international law.”

It stressed the need for an immediate halt to Israeli attacks on
Lebanon, the consolidation of a ceasefire agreement, and full
compliance with UN Security Council Resolution 1701.

The Ministry’s official spokesperson, Fouad Majali, reiterated
Jordan’s unwavering support for Lebanon’s security, stability,
sovereignty, and the safety of its citizens. He also stressed
Jordan’s support for the Lebanese government’s efforts to assert its
sovereignty over all Lebanese territory, reactivate its national
institutions, and ensure that weapons are solely in the hands of the
state.

Majali expressed his condolences to the government and people of
Lebanon, and to the families of the victims.
