Jordan

Jordan denied Iraqi press reports that its territory is being used by US forces to target the Islamic State in Iraq. Over 15,000 Muslim Brotherhood supporters demonstrated in Amman against the Israeli campaign in Gaza; many of the protesters shouted “Death to Israel,” and some wore the uniform of Hamas’ military wing, the Al Qassam Brigades. The first UN aid convoy through the Ramtha border crossing, which was taken over by the Al Nusrah Front in September, entered Syria on Aug. 6.
