The Jordanian military states it has actually eliminated 27 medicine smugglers that attempted to cross into the kingdom from Syria under the cover of heavy snow.

The smugglers were backed by “armed groups”, a declaration stated, including that some got away back to the Syrian region.

Soldiers browsed the locations where the clashes took place as well as “found big amounts of narcotics”.

The army pledged to strike with “an iron fist” at any kind of smuggling or infiltrations that threatened nationwide safety.

It said soldiers had actually used brand-new guidelines of engagement that were introduced after a military police officer was killed in a shootout with smugglers on the boundary with Syria on 17 January.

The brand-new guidelines were also said to show expanding problems concerning a recent surge in the contraband of medications from Syria, mostly amphetamine tablet computers birthing the Captagon logo.


Captagon is apparently one of the most prominent drugs among upscale youths in the center East, specifically in Gulf Arab states. It has likewise been consumed by combatants in the civil battle in Syria, who claim it dims fear on the combat zone.

A lot of the Captagon confiscated in the area are reported to have come from Syria and Lebanon.

Jordanian authorities have condemned Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah activity as well as various other Iran-backed militias running in government-controlled parts of southerly Syria for the surge in smuggling into the kingdom. Hezbollah has actually refuted the allegation, calling it fabricated.

The Syrian federal government has said it is doing its utmost to punish Captagon production.
