Protests erupted in Jordan following the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar by Israel’s military. Demonstrators demanded the Jordanian government support Palestinian resistance and annul its peace treaty with Israel. "Commander Sinwar was martyred, a legend who dazzled the East and the West," one protester told Sky News. The protests were further fueled by Israel's earlier report of killing two armed attackers crossing from Jordan, which Jordan's military denied. The Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan later claimed the attackers as members of their group. Tensions between Jordan and Israel remain high amid growing regional unrest.
