In third Jordanian violation of Syrian territory | Its warplanes commit massacre and kill eight people with two separate targets in Al-Suwaidaa countryside

After midnight on Wednesday-Thursday, Jordanian warplanes launched airstrikes, targeting houses and a warehouse in two areas south-east of Al-Suwaidaa, leaving casualties and significant material damage, where Jordanian warplanes launched strikes targeting at least two houses in Arman town, which resulted in the killing of eight people, including two children and four women. In the first house, Jordanian aircraft committed a massacre and killed a woman, her two daughters, a man and his wife, while in the other house, a man and two women were killed, and the number is still likely to increase due to people stuck under the rubble and information about other victims, in addition to massive destruction to houses in the town, amid distress calls by the people for rescue teams to head to the targeted place, remove the rubble, and pull the stuck bodies.
The strikes also targeted a warehouse belonging to a civilian in Melh village in the southeastern countryside of Al-Suwaidaa, resulting in its damage, along with a house next to it. No causalities were reported.
It is noted that this is the third time that Jordanian warplanes have violated Syrian territory since the beginning of this year.
On January 9, SOHR reported that three people were killed in Jordanian airstrikes on Al-Suwaidaa countryside, as a part of security campaigns by Jordanian forces to prosecute drug smugglers and reduce the escalating smuggling operations from Syria to Jordan through Al-Suwaidaa countryside, where the airstrikes on Al-Shaab village targeted a house, killing a civilian and his wife, while airstrikes on the outskirts of Melh village targeted a farm, resulting in the death of the farm’s owner, who was known in drug dealing.
On January 7, SOHR sources reported that five smugglers were killed and others were injured, while 15 others were arrested by Jordanian forces after intermittent clashes that lasted for ten hours at the borders between Syria and Jordan. During the operation, large amounts of narcotics, estimated to be 627,000 tablets of captagon and 3,439 pieces of hashish, were confiscated.

While on January 5, 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.
