His Majesty King Abdullah II on Tuesday presented Captain Firas Ananzeh with his new military rank, following the issuance of a Royal Decree promoting him from the rank of Second Lieutenant.

His Majesty also bestowed the Order of Valour and Salvation of the First Degree on Captain Ananzeh, in recognition of his bravery and heroic actions in apprehending a terrorist in Amman and protecting civilians.

The ceremony, which took place at Al Husseiniya Palace, was attended by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II and Ananzeh’s family members.

The King also inquired about Ananzeh’s recovery following the injuries he sustained while responding to the terrorist attack. His Majesty expressed his pride in Ananzeh, commending the courage demonstrated by the brave members of Jordan’s security agencies in the line of duty. 

The King declared that cowardly acts of terror will never destabilise Jordan, citing the bravery of heroes like Ananzeh and the martyred Corporal Jawad Al Salaita, emphasising that the Kingdom’s security is fiercely protected by its own people.
