Worked as a guard at water well | Civilian killed in Jordanian airstrike targeted drug dealers in village in southern countryside of Al-Suwaidaa

Al-Suwaidaa province: A civilian in his fifth decade was killed in airstrikes carried out by Jordanian aircraft after midnight on Thursday-Friday, targeting drug dealers in Um al-Rumman village in the southern countryside of Al-Suwaidaa.
According to SOHR activists, the civilian was killed while working as a guard in a water well in Um al-Rumman village, and he was a father of two children and was not involved in any work related to smuggling, amid a state of discontent among the residents of the village, due to airstrikes carried out by the Jordanian Air Force in places populated by civilians.
This is the second raid of its kind, in which the water well was subjected to a Jordanian airstrike, where the first one was on December 18, in Al-Mataeiyah village in Daraa countryside.
The border area in rural Suwayda between Syria and Jordan is one of the most important areas where smuggling operations by smugglers working for Lebanon’s “Hezbollah” are active. Jordan is the starting point for smuggled drugs towards Gulf States.
It is worth noting that the area on borders between Syria and Jordan in Al-Suwaydaa countryside is considered one of the important areas that witness smuggling operations by smugglers of the Lebanese Hezbollah, where Jordan is the launching point of drugs towards gulf countries.
