Jordanian forces destroy arms and drug trafficking workshops
- Criminal gangs used the sites along the northern border as bases for launching unlawful operations toward the heart of Jordanian territory
LONDON: The Jordanian military conducted a crackdown on several drug gangs involved in smuggling weapons and narcotics along the northern border with Syria.
The military announced on Wednesday that it targeted several factories and workshops used by gangs involved in arms and drug trafficking, which they used as bases for launching unlawful operations toward the heart of Jordanian territory.
Armed Forces destroyed the sites after receiving intelligence in coordination with regional partners, according to the Petra news agency.
Syrian state media broadcaster Al-Ikhbariya reported on Telegram that the Jordanian army targeted “drug smuggling networks and storage farms in the southern and eastern countryside” of Sweida, in southern Syria.
The Jordanian Army is prepared to confront anyone threatening the security of the homeland and its citizens, addressing any threats with force as needed, The Petra added.
