Jordan army said on Saturday five drug dealers who infiltrated from Syria carrying large hauls of weapons and drugs were killed in day-long clashes along the country’s northern border.
The army pursued over 80 armed smugglers who had crossed into Jordan under cover of heavy fog, security sources said. Jordan is seeing a surge in infiltration attempts by drug dealers linked to Iranian militias who hold sway in southern Syria, the sources said.
