The Jordan News Agency, Petra, said the strikes on Wednesday neutralised a number of arms and drug traffickers who organise weapons and narcotics smuggling operations along the northern border of the Kingdom."

A resident of Syria's Suwayda border region told the AFP news agency that the bombardment was extremely intense and targeted farms and smuggling routes, while the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said jets and helicopters had reportedly taken part in the raid."
