According to the report, the Jordanian army launched an operation against drug smugglers after clashes last month with dozens of infiltrators from Syria linked to pro-Iranian militias. The same armed groups tried to infiltrate Jordan with weapons and explosives.
The sources told Reuters that planes bombed the suspicious home of a major drug dealer in a town in al-Sawadiya province in southern Syria. Warehouses near the town of al-Ghayra were also attacked. Both targets are located in southern Syria near the Jordanian border. According to various reports, plumes of smoke rose from the area of the strikes.
