Airstrike Targets Drug Dealers in Syria, Likely Conducted by Jordan's Air Force

The strike follows a border clash where Jordanian authorities killed several smugglers and seized millions of Captagon pills.

An airstrike believed to have been carried out by Jordan's air force targeted a province in southern Syria, a known route for drug smuggling.
The strike reportedly killed a well-known drug dealer in the region.
Earlier, Jordanian authorities reported that their troops killed several smugglers in a border clash and seized nearly five million pills of Captagon, a highly addictive amphetamine, and an unspecified amount of cannabis.
Smugglers have been using Jordan as a corridor to smuggle Captagon out of Syria, mainly to oil-rich Arab Gulf states.
Jordan has not claimed responsibility for any of the strikes.
