Last night, Jordanian warplanes attacked and killed the biggest drug dealer in southern Syria, Marai al Ramathan, he was wanted by Jordan because of his extensive activity in the production and smuggling of drugs from Syria.
Local sources report the death of 8 members of one family (a pair of parents and 6 children) who lived in Dahiya in Kharb Al Sham.
Arab media outlets report that last night the Jordanian Air Force attacked a drug-manufacturing laboratory in the village of Kharab a-Shaham, in southern Syria, very close to the Syrian-Jordanian border belonging to the Hezbollah.
The unusual attack follows the Jordanian Foreign Minister's warning in an interview with CNN two days ago, that Jordan may attack targets in Syrian territory, due to the large quantities of drugs smuggled from southern Syria to Jordan through
Jordan has been dealing with this smuggling issue for a while now and it's been a real pain them. It looks like #Hezbollah is the one behind this illicit trade, as they're known for funding themselves through these types of activities in the area.
Arab commentators claim that Jordan's attack on Syria tonight is part of a deal that was formed between Israel and Jordan in exchange for the release of the Jordanian member of parliament who was arrested in Israel for smuggling illegal weapons.
The commentators point out that Israel demanded from Jordan to act in southern Syria to prevent the passage of ISIL into its territory, which later falls into the hands of terrorist organizations in the West Bank.
