Jordan Foils Drug Smuggling Attempt from Syria
ARK News… Jordanian army forces have thwarted an attempt to smuggle drugs from Syria, resulting in the death of smugglers and injuries to others.
The General Command of the Jordanian Armed Forces issued a statement indicating that the Eastern Military Zone, in coordination with military security agencies and the Anti-Narcotics Department, foiled an infiltration and smuggling attempt of large quantities of drugs coming from Syrian territories.
The statement clarified that the operation resulted in the killing of two smugglers and the injury of others, with large quantities of drugs seized and transferred to the appropriate authorities.
It emphasized that the Jordanian army "will continue to use all available capabilities and resources to strike with an iron fist against anyone attempting to jeopardize Jordan's national security."
