Several Jordanian soldiers lost their lives in the battle, while the Israeli raid was repelled with heavy losses as the Jordanian army launched an artillery barrage against Israeli tanks.
His Majesty King Abdullah and HRH Crown Prince Hussein on Sunday received several cables of congratulations from senior officials and officers on the occasion, a Royal Court statement said.
