Jordan: Amman hotels 'full to the brim' with 'Palestinians'
Frontline News sources in Amman today report there has been a massive influx of “Palestinians” arriving in Jordan's capital in recent days. Hotels are reportedly “packed to the brim” with families seeking refuge from expected Israeli retaliation.
This follows earlier exclusive Frontline News reports of convoys of Muslim women and children spotted traveling to Jordan Wednesday from Samaria, while convoys of armored vehicles made their way to Israel's border.
These early warning indicators were confirmed in mainstream Israeli press late Thursday afternoon. Israel press is now reporting an expected wave of attacks and riots, with the IDF bolstering forces, claiming to be “ready for any scenario.”
Though Israel has yet to follow through on its promises to exact “merciless” retaliation, Hamas has called for more massacres today. Khalid Mashal, one of Hamas’ founding members and leaders, urged Muslims around the world in a speech Wednesday “to show rage” and carry out a “global jihad.”
According to Israeli media, regular and reserve IDF forces were deployed "in order to ensure protection and thwart terrorism." More than 180 wanted persons were arrested, including dozens of Hamas operatives, and first response units will be reinforced with thousands of weapons. Meanwhile, Israel media reports, Hamas is trying to incite general return to Islamic attacks.
However, Israelis have been expressing bitter condemnation of their government's inaction, with calls to imprison the Prime Minister, cabinet, and IDF leadership. Jewish communities have deployed independent networks for defense and mutual support, and have warned local Muslims that if they approach Jewish communities, “We will do to you what you seek to do to us.”
