According to Jordan News Agency, this evacuation marks the deployment of the fifth RJAF plane dedicated to evacuating Jordanian citizens from Lebanon. To date, 114 individuals have been safely transported back to Jordan, facilitated by a registration system available through the Jordanian Embassy’s e-platform in Lebanon. This initiative is part of a comprehensive plan developed in collaboration with the Jordanian Armed Forces, security agencies, the Ministry of Interior, and the National Center for Security and Crisis Management.
Sufyan Al-Qudah, spokesperson for the ministry, highlighted that since the beginning of August, 3,353 Jordanians have returned to the Kingdom from Lebanon through Queen Alia Interna
