With the "Jordanian Deterrence-Hamoud" operation, the Royal Jordanian Air Force sent a decisive message to terrorist organizations that Jordan's security is a red line, and that targeting Jordanians will not go unanswered. It confirms that confronting terrorism is not limited to pursuing its perpetrators, but extends to targeting its dens and sources of threat, wherever they are found inside or outside the homeland. So, has the message been received?
The integration of security efforts on the ground with military capability in the air reflects a clear Jordanian approach to protecting the homeland and its citizens, and confirms that the state possesses the will and readiness to deal with threats targeting its security and stability. Jordan does not seek escalation, but it will not allow anyone to test its ability to protect its children and safeguard its sovereignty.
