The JAF
source said that on Tuesday morning, Jordanian border guards stationed on the
Jordanian-Syrian-Israeli Triangle (Wadi Qalid) suspected that a smuggling
attempt was underway and therefore fired some gunshots in the open to scare off
the suspected smugglers.
"At
this point, an Israeli patrol passed by on the opposite side of the borders. It
continued its way after the smuggling attempt was thwarted by the Jordanian
Army," it added, denying anyone was hurt in the incident.
The JAF
source urged the public to seek information from official and authorized
sources.
