JAKARTA - Jordanian authorities have arrested 16 people in connection with a plan that threatens national security. This plan involves rockets, explosives, and a drone manufacturing plant.
Security sources said the suspects were linked to the Palestinian militant Hamas movement. The group is accused of inciting antigovernmental street protests in Jordan, which has a large Palestinian population.
Authorities say one rocket is ready to launch in the case, which has been monitored by security forces since 2021.

"The plan aims to undermine national security, spread chaos, and cause material damage within the kingdom," the statement said.
Over the past year, Jordan has thwarted attempts to smuggle weapons by intruders linked to pro-Iran militias in Syria.
