Jordan's King Abdullah II took part in airdrop operations to deliver food and relief aid to Gaza Strip via a Royal Jordanian Air Force aircraft on Tuesday.
Footage shows the King arriving at an airbase and greeting Armed Forces personnel. He was seen later onboard, taking part in the airdrop operation, with boxes seen labelled 'Gaza is always in our hearts' and 'Our hearts go out to you'
The Jordanian Armed Forces released a report saying that the participation of the King emphasised Jordan's ongoing solidarity with Palestinians through delivering aid by all available means.
According to the Israeli Foreign Ministry's 'Israel in Arabic' channel on the X platform (formerly Twitter), the effort was planned and co-ordinated by the International Brigade of the Strategic Planning and Co-operation Directorate (J5), the Co-ordination and Liaison Administration to Gaza (CLA), the 98th Division, and the Israeli Air Forces.
Six C130 aircraft took off from Jordan's capital, including three Royal Jordanian Air Force aircraft and three others from UAE, Egypt and France. The water resistant packages of food were airdropped along the coast by parachute.
Fighting continues in Gaza during the fifth month of the Israel-Hamas war. Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on southern Israel on October 7, killing 1,139 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping over 200, according to Israeli officials.
Israel declared war on the group and a 'complete siege' of Gaza, with a large-scale campaign of air strikes. A ground incursion began at the end of the third week, with Israeli leaders vowing to 'wipe out' Hamas. Palestinian officials reported that at least 29,000 people had been killed at the time of publication.
The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) claimed that Hamas locations and infrastructure were targeted in the response. However, United Nations experts warned against 'collective punishment' for the people of Gaza, before predicting a 'humanitarian crisis' and then claimed that 'hell is settling in' for the region.
