Jordan Stops Armed Group Crossing from Syria Amid Border Security Operations
Jordan's armed forces reported stopping an attempt by a 14-person armed group to enter from Syria amid ongoing border security challenges, including drug and weapons smuggling. This incident followed Jordan's airstrikes on southern Syria targeting militant hideouts linked to a deadly church attack in Jordan's Karak governorate, which killed nine and wounded 34. Jordan's strikes, which reportedly killed over 20 Islamic State militants, have heightened tensions with Syria, which condemned the attacks and cited civilian casualties. Jordan expressed regret over these casualties while reaffirming respect for Syrian sovereignty.
