Syria and Jordan Launch Joint Probe into Deadly Airstrikes, Sign Cooperation Deals
The foreign ministers of Syria and Jordan met in Damascus, marking their first encounter since Jordanian airstrikes in southern Syria last month resulted in civilian casualties. During the meeting, both nations announced a joint investigation into the incident, which Syrian authorities claim killed seven civilians, including three children. Jordan stated that its strikes on October 26 targeted Islamic State terrorists linked to an attack on a church in Jordan's Karak province. In addition to addressing the airstrikes, Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani and Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi oversaw the signing of 11 new cooperation agreements. These agreements span various sectors, including investment, civil aviation, food security, cloud seeding, and a proposed railway connection.
