"We mourn the martyrs of duty: First Lieutenant Murad Al-Mawajdeh, Sergeant Khaldoun Al-Raqab, and Corporal Subhi Dwaikat, with utmost respect for their heroism and dedication as they confronted outlaws and drug dealers, who target the youth of the country and its future," he said.

"This heinous crime will only embolden us to continue the war on the scourge of drugs," he said, calling for a tough hand against anyone who dares to tamper with Jordan's security or undermine its stability.

He extended his deepest condolences to the families of the martyrs and wished the injured officer a speedy recovery.
