Jordan conducted airstrikes in southern Syria on October 26, targeting Daesh positions, according to military statements. The strikes followed a Daesh attack that killed seven civilians in the region. Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi and Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani discussed the incident during a phone call.
The Jordanian government stated the airstrikes were based on field intelligence and aimed at neutralizing Daesh threats. Syria accused Jordan of not coordinating before the operation, which targeted areas in Deraa and Suwayda. The attack has raised concerns over cross-border military actions and regional stability.
The conflict between Jordan and Syria has intensified in recent months, with both nations accusing each other of insufficient cooperation. Daesh has been active in Syria, despite international efforts to dismantle its influence. The latest strikes highlight the ongoing challenges in the region and the complex dynamics between neighboring states.
Jordan's military action underscores the continued threat posed by Daesh, even as international pressure mounts to reduce violence. The incident may lead to further diplomatic tensions and could impact regional security strategies.
