Translated Text: #BREAKING: Syria expresses "its strongest condemnation and rejection" of Jordanian airstrikes that killed seven civilians on Monday, the Syrian foreign ministry said in a statement, adding the attacks were an "unacceptable violation and breach of Syrian airspace" that wasn't coordinated beforehand with Syrian authorities. Syria will "urgently" form joint committees with Jordan to ensure such attacks don't happen again and to bolster border security. Syria’s civil defense agency said it had recovered the bodies of seven people killed in strikes in the southern Daraa and Sweida provinces. Five members of one family, including three children and a woman, were killed together in a strike that hit a tent in rural Daraa province and three other family members were injured, it said. An 80-year-old man and a 60-year-old man were killed in separate strikes, it said. The Syrian government said the Jordanian operation took place “without prior coordination or notification with the Syrian side.” It said Syrian authorities were investigating the circumstances of the incident and had opened communication channels with Jordan to discuss the situation. Syria’s General Authority for Ports and Customs later announced the closure of Syria’s main border crossing with Jordan. Earlier on Monday, Jordanian authorities arrested three men for last week’s attack, which also wounded more than two dozen people. The arrests followed a dawn shootout, and all three men were wounded, officials said. Later on Monday, the Public Security Directorate’s chief described the gunmen as takfiri, a term used for Sunni militants, but said they were not tied to any organized group. “They only represent themselves,” Maj. Gen. Obaidallah Abd Rabbo Al-Maayta told a news conference. He also said a large cache of munitions was found in the abandoned house where Jordanian forces apprehended the men.
