Jordan's Air Force Strikes Drug Dealers in Syria
TL;DR
An airstrike, likely carried out by Jordan's air force, targeted a province in southern Syria, known for drug smuggling, killing a well-known drug dealer. Jordanian authorities had earlier reported killing and detaining smugglers along the border with Syria, seizing millions of Captagon pills. Jordan has been a key transit route for smuggling drugs out of war-torn Syria, and this is not the first time airstrikes have targeted drug-related facilities in the region.
