DAMASCUS: Syrian state TV reported Jordanian strikes on a drugs and weapons storage in the southern Druze-majority province of Sweida, of which many parts are outside Damascus’ control.
State television quoted local sources saying the Jordanian army “likely... targeted a headquarters containing weapons and drugs controlled by rebel groups in the village of Shahba in Sweida.”
Separately, the Jordanian army said it “carried out a Jordanian deterrent operation targeting several locations used by arms and drug traffickers along the Kingdom’s northern border.”
Local sources told an AFP correspondent that a series of airstrikes targeted at least five locations, including warehouses in the Syrian town of Arman.
