"Jordanian Air Raids Kill 10 Civilians in Southern Syria"

Suspected Jordanian air raids in Syria have resulted in at least 10 civilian deaths, with local media reporting strikes on residential neighborhoods in the southeast province of Sweida. The attacks are believed to be aimed at disrupting drug-trafficking operations, but residents have questioned the choice of targets, emphasizing the civilian casualties and calling for collaboration to combat drug smuggling. The Syrian government and its allies, including Hezbollah, are also implicated in the drug trade, while geopolitical turmoil in the region has allowed trafficking to flourish.
