The Jordanian army announced yesterday the thwarting of an attempted infiltration by an "armed group" from Syria into Jordan. The statement adds that the group included 14 people, who tried to enter northern Jordan under "heavy" fire cover, resulting in clashes with Jordanian Border Guard forces. The army claims that the infiltrating force caused "many" casualties, while the rest retreated to Syria. This explains why Jordanian military reinforcement convoys were sent to the Syrian border earlier yesterday. [1].
