Jordan army says it thwarts border infiltration across Syria, one killed
The Jordanian army said on Sunday it had killed one person and arrested six others who tried to cross the border from Syria.
Officials say there has been a spike in such attempts in recent weeks by drug and arms smugglers linked to pro-Iranian militias who hold sway in southern Syria.
The army says they have also used drones in their operations.
Damascus denies any complicity and says it tries to curb rampant drug and arms smuggling across the border with Jordan.
