The operation that the Jordanian security forces carried out on Tuesday night in Ar-Ramtha District showed the level of professionalism and vigilance that Jordanian security forces possess in confronting armed threats.

 

The security forces executed the operation with precision and full compliance with the rules of engagement, which manifested their capabilities in swiftly assessing complex situations while protecting the lives of Jordanians, as the operation took place in a busy market in the centre of the town that also houses residential units.

 

A special unit raided a site in Ar-Ramtha District, where two extremists were hiding. The two brothers, who reportedly hold and promote for takfiri ideology, were wanted on major investigative charges. As the special unit arrived to the location, the suspects opened fire, injuring three members of the special unit. The brothers had barricaded themselves inside the location and used their mother as a human shield, but officers were able to secure her safely without injury, while the suspects were killed.

 

Authorities seized a number of weapons and ammunition, highlighting the serious threat that the security forces neutralised with unparalleled professionalism.

 

This operation highlights a fact that Jordanians have always cherished: security forces are our safe shield that protects Jordan and ensures its stability. It is another reminder that when it comes to Jordan’s security and stability, the state will never be lenient with any threat to national security.

 

The vigilance and preparedness that the security forces showed in handling the threat in Ar-Ramtha demonstrate that they were not only responding to an incident but went beyond; reflecting an integrated security system established on ongoing training, strategic planning, strict discipline, integration of advanced technology and full compliance with their duties toward their people and land.

 

The wave of support that Jordanians expressed to the security forces in the aftermath of the operation manifests deep trust and appreciation, and also shows a national consensus on rejecting takfiri ideology, extremism and terrorism targeting the stability of the Kingdom.

 

Videos that went viral on social media during and after the operation showed the people of Ar-Ramth cheering and applauding as more security arrived for reinforcement. The videos also captured people praying for the safety of the Jordanian officers and expressing their readiness to stand with them and assist if needed. If this shows one thing, it shows how we Jordanians always rally around our security forces and our Hashemite leadership in challenging times, and this sends a clear message to those who seek to harm the country that the Jordanian people stand on the frontline of protecting this land.

 

The Jordanian community as a whole stands behind its security forces, realizing that the country’s safety and stability do not fall solely on their shoulders but are a collective duty upheld by national unity around Jordan’s wise leadership.

 

Rising challenges and terrorist acts in the region require Jordan to remain vigilant and firm, and this was clearly manifested in Ar-Ramtha operation. The incident is a reminder that combating terrorism and radicalism is not merely a security concern, but a national cause that demands collective awareness and shared responsibility between security forces and the civil community.

 

Through this operation, Jordan proves once again that it is strong and resilient in the face of terrorism and radical ideologies. Jordan is unified in rejecting any attempts to undermine its stability and will always be a state that upholds the rule of law.
