The Jordan Armed Forces -Arab Army (JAF) on Monday dispatched 16 helicopters to Gaza, carrying 20 tonnes of relief supplies to the war-torn Strip.

JAF said that the aid was sent in coordination with the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation (JHCO).

The assistance on Monday was part of the eight-day air bridge to Gaza, which the Kingdom launched last Tuesday, with 16 flights scheduled daily that carry relief aid to the besieged Palestinian territory as reported in The Jordan Times.

JAF reiterated its commitment to continuing the delivery of humanitarian and medical aid through the air bridge, expediting the transport of critical supplies, particularly medical treatments and equipment, to Gaza.

Since the launch of the air bridge, 72 Jordanian aircraft, alongside eight Italian helicopters, have contributed to this vital operation, demonstrating international cooperation in response to the crisis, JAF said.

Iran is escalating its war potentials: For the first time since the start of this war since 28 February, it fired its Sejjil supersonic ballistic missile towards Israel according to Iranian State TV.

Sejjil is a long-range, solid-fueled ballistic missile. It takes off within minutes and reaches its targets at speed exceeding Mach 12, at a blink of an eye.

The launch of the Sejjil is significant. Its launch Sunday was part of Iran’s 54th wave of Operation True Promise. The missile carries a heavy warhead weighing approximately 1,000 kg of high explosives and is designed to destroy strategic and fortified targets.

The Gaza Media Office reported, Monday, the Israeli army violated the Gaza ceasefire reached 10 October, 2025, 3465 times.

It went on to say that during these violations it killed 1045 people and injured 3380 people in different parts of the Gaza Strip.

And because the Israeli army effectively controls a major part of the Gaza Strip under a yellow line that today stands at least 60 percent and is purpotedly increasing to 70 percent of the territory as boasted by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, it arrested 113 people.

The Media Office also states that during this time only 55,539 aid trucks entered the Gaza enclave as allowed by the Israeli army. That’s only 36 percent of what was allowed to enter by the ceasefire accord and which is 156,000 humanitarian trucks.

The Media Office which is part of the governmental authority in charge of Gaza, denounces what it calls the “methodological” policy practiced by the Israeli occupation to target and exterminate Palestinians and the continuation of the policy of killing without stopping.
