Amman, June 6 (Petra) – Jordan condemned on Saturday an Israeli strike on a Lebanese army patrol on the Khardali-Nabatieh road in southern Lebanon, which left three soldiers, including two high-ranking officers, dead.

The Ministry of Foreign and Expatriate Affairs said the attack is "a blatant violation of the sovereignty, security, and stability of brotherly Lebanon, and a flagrant breach of international law."

It stressed the need for an immediate halt to Israeli attacks on Lebanon, the consolidation of a ceasefire agreement, and full compliance with UN Security Council Resolution 1701.

The Ministry's official spokesperson, Fouad Majali, reiterated Jordan's unwavering support for Lebanon's security, stability, sovereignty, and the safety of its citizens. He also stressed Jordan's support for the Lebanese government's efforts to assert its sovereignty over all Lebanese territory, reactivate its national institutions, and ensure that weapons are solely in the hands of the state.

Majali expressed his condolences to the government and people of Lebanon, and to the families of the victims.
