Report: Hamas acquiring Jordanian land

A number of Arab newspapers are reporting that members of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan are buying large plots of land in the Jordan Valley, acting as middlemen for Hamas ownership of the land.

Is Hamas preparing for a possible fall of Jordan's government, so they could be positioned to attack Israel with rockets from the east?

Or are they trying to have another front ready in case of another Fatah-Hamas civil war?

Their map of "Palestine" in their logo doesn't include the parts of Palestine outside the British Mandate, so it doesn't appear that they are trying to try to acquire Palestinian land in Jordan.
