Ammon News - A responsible military source at the General Command of the Jordan Armed Forces–Arab Army on Sunday denied reports circulated by foreign media claiming that Israel would participate in the Special Operations Forces Exhibition (SOFEX), scheduled to be held in Aqaba at the end of October.
