Over recent years, many members of the Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces have turned their weapons on the Israeli security forces and even initiated shooting attacks against Israelis. After their death in these attacks, they have frequently been revealed to belong both to the PA security forces and to Palestinian terror organizations such as the Al-Aqsa Martyrs
Since Hamas' October 7 attack, Jordan has seen a surge in popular support for Hamas and hostility towards Israel, which are expressed in many anti-Israel demonstrations and in explicit calls to confront it and wage jihad against it.
