Odd though, the article mentions it is meant as a measure to combat ISIS, which makes no sense, given that ISIS normally doesn't attack them and they have given material support to ISIS in the past. More like an excuse.

Still... some of the ISIS nonsense does seem to be spilling over into the fringes of Jordan. Perhaps Israel doesn't quite want to see its ally become another Jihadistan to fight Iran? I'll have to watch their actions to know for sure.
