Jordanian officials have confirmed that several Syrian missiles have crossed the border and landed near the village of Thneibat, setting some farmland on fire but otherwise causing no casualties.
The cross-border hits appear to have been incidental to a campaign of air strikes against rebel-held territory along the Syrian side of the border, but also follow warnings earlier this week from Syria about Jordan’s support for the rebels.
Jordan’s support for the rebels has been escalating dramatically in recent weeks, with more US trainers showing up and the announcement that Jordan will lead the arming of the rebels.
It also comes in the context of rumors that the US was going to deploy Patriot Missiles to Jordan, something the US has so far denied but which, with the US adding troops to the nation could be a next step.
These are the warning shots, warning those in Jordan who wants to mess with Syrian army.., these are the warning shots for senator McCain waking him up reminding him about the consequences demanding for international military sent to Syria.., siting the usual Washington BS saying that : these forces are needed to secure the Syrian chemical weapon not reaching terrorists or jihadist fighting in Syrian.., you supported these jihadist and terrorism to start with Washington.., it was Hillary Clinton who gave them the green light to start the Syrian war.., now you want to send in a international military force to secure what the Syrian government says don't have…, question is.., whom are these international forces beside the us militarism or NATO. All that politics in "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" seams back firing senator.., doesn't it. All that use of these jihadist and affiliated terrorist group whom are feed by Saudis, the Wahhabis, the salafis, the Al Queda, the Taliban and others whom are used from the time in Balkan wars, then Afghanistan, then Iraq, then Libya and now Syria is back firing.., isn't it senators. Wake up.., use the peace and a functioning democracy for once in your life.., you will see a better result in time.
If the Jordanian govt is supporting these terrorists Syria has every right to target them in Jordan. Um, the U.S. has drone bombed Pakistan over 300 times going after the rebels there so if it is good for the U.S. then it is good for Sryia.
