A joint Jordanian-Israeli panel had said earlier that Israeli authorities must alert Jordan in case such fires take place near the border to enable Jordanian authorities to take precautionary measures, the official said.

'But the Israeli side failed this time to inform Jordan about the fires, which is an unacceptable behaviour and requires certain assurances be given that it will not happen again,' he added.

Over the past three weeks, the Jordanian government has been under pressure from the Islamic-led opposition to raise the issue on the international level in order to put an end to the 'Israeli arrogance' with which the Jewish state was lately dealing with Jordan.
