Jordanian Airstrike Targets Suspected Drug Depot in Syria’s Suwayda Countryside
ARK News.. The Jordanian Air Force carried out an airstrike targeting an under-construction house suspected of being used as a drug warehouse in the village of al-Sha’ab, in eastern Suwayda countryside. The strike resulted in the complete destruction of the building, with no reported casualties.
According to sources, the targeted property belonged to Mohammad Eid al-Ramthan, a local tribesman suspected of links to cross-border drug trafficking networks. He is believed to be associated with remnants of armed groups that previously operated under Iranian sponsorship and in coordination with Hezbollah. These networks are reportedly affiliated with the late Mar’i al-Ramthan, who was killed in a similar Jordanian airstrike earlier.
The operation comes amid a marked escalation in Jordanian military actions against narcotics smuggling networks operating along the Syrian-Jordanian border.
