The military source emphasized that the Jordan Armed Forces remain committed to utilizing their full capabilities to prevent infiltration and smuggling attempts. Ensuring the security and stability of Jordan continues to be a top priority, with the armed forces prepared to take decisive action to safeguard the nation's borders, it added.
