At the current rate of smuggling from Jordan, Palestinian terror groups will be able to launch rockets from the West Bank into Israel within a year, the Kan public broadcaster reports, citing senior officials in the Palestinian Authority security forces.
The sources reportedly clarify that these rockets would not resemble the primitive projectiles launched from Jenin on several occasions in the past year, but would rather be similar to the tens of thousands of projectiles fired from Gaza in recent years.
Kan reported on Friday that explosives, money and knowledge on bomb-making are being transferred from Lebanon to the West Bank via Jordan, with Iranian guidance.
This evening, the broadcaster also reports, citing a senior Jordanian source, that Amman has in recent days discovered two explosives storage sites near the capital, and suspects Iran and its proxies are behind them. One is said to be located near an airport in southeastern Amman that is used by the US military.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
