Syria shuts main border crossing with Jordan after airstrikes
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSyria has closed the Nassib border crossing with Jordan, suspending passenger and commercial traffic in both directions due to developments on the ground in Daraa province, the Syrian General Authority for Border Crossings and Customs says in a statement.
The closure comes after Jordan’s air force struck what it described as militant hideouts in southern Syria, saying suspects behind last week’s deadly church attack in the kingdom were linked to “terrorist groups” operating there.
The Nassib border crossing is Jordan’s only passenger and commercial border crossing with Syria.
