Jordanian Forces Thwart Infiltration Attempt at Syrian Border
Jordan's military announced the killing of two armed individuals after thwarting an attempted infiltration from Syria. No further details were shared, but it's noted that such incidents often involve drug smuggling. Earlier this year, Jordan and Syria agreed on joint efforts to enhance border security.
In a recent border security incident, Jordan's armed forces successfully terminated an attempted infiltration from Syria, resulting in the deaths of two armed individuals.
The military's statement did not elaborate on the incident, but emphasized that the remaining members of the group were forced back into Syrian territory. Such thwarted attempts are commonly linked to drug smuggling activities.
Earlier in January, Jordan and Syria committed to enhancing their border cooperation, focusing on both preventing smuggling and combatting extremist threats like the Islamic State.
