DUBAI: Jordan has referred cases related to funds collected by the now banned Muslim Brotherhood group to the state prosecutor, the Jordan News Agency (Petra) reported Monday.
“The State Security Court prosecutor has decided to refer some fundraising cases involving the banned Muslim Brotherhood to the public prosecutor in Amman,” an informed official source told Petra.
Some 10 individuals were detained in relation to the fundraising cases involving the banned group, and are pending investigation.
The source explained that the 10 detainees are in correctional and rehabilitation centers, while two other individuals are currently under investigation. One of them is abroad and has not appeared before the public prosecutor, while the second was released on bail.
The individuals are accused of taking part in illegal activities, managing a financial network whose sources come from collecting funds in an unlawful manner.

Blasts over Jerusalem after Israel detects missiles fired from Iran: AFP

  • Iran army says targeted Israel military bases, security service

JERUSALEM/TEHRAN: Blasts were heard over Jerusalem on Thursday, AFP journalists said, after the Israeli military detected missiles fired from Iran.
“A short while ago, the IDF identified missiles launched from Iran toward the territory of the State of Israel. Defensive systems are operating to intercept the threat,” the military posted on Telegram.

Meanwhile, Iran’s army said Thursday it had targeted Israeli military bases and the country’s security service Shin Bet as the war entered its 13th day.
“The Palmachim and Ovda air bases of the Zionist regime as well as the headquarters of Shin Bet were targeted by drones from the Islamic Republic of Iran’s army,” the military said in a statement carried by state television.
