The Jerusalem Post reports: “Hamas urged Jordan to release members of a reported Muslim Brotherhood terrorist cell, who were arrested last week by the Jordanian Intelligence, after being accused of attempting to manufacture rockets and drones with training from Hamas leaders in Lebanon.

According to Qatari outlet Al Jazeera, Hamas claimed in their statement that they have ‘been informed of the developments and details of the case related to the arrest of a group of Jordanian youths,’ defending their actions as ‘motivated by support for Palestine and the defense of Al-Quds and al-Aqsa Mosque.’

Hamas also claimed that the arrested operatives’ actions ‘did not in any way target Jordan’s security or stability,’ adding that the group ‘appreciates these initiatives, which stem from the conscience of the nation and its national and Islamic conscience.’

The terror-designated group continued: ‘Supporting the Palestinian resistance is a national and moral duty.’

‘It should not be condemned or criminalized, but rather celebrated, and its proponents thanked,’ adding that they ‘salute every free voice and sincere initiative in dear Jordan and throughout the nation that contributes to supporting the steadfastness of our people.’…”
