So what we know is that Syrian authorities
and rescue workers are on the scene of these
strikes.
They have confirmed that civilians are among the dead,
including at least three children
and one elderly man.
The total toll of dead and wounded is still being updated and revised,
but the images
coming out of the scenes there in Daraa are very, very concerning.
It appears to be a strike on a civilian home with the dead
and wounded inside a lounge
room.
sleeping at the time that these strikes came in.
Now, Syrian authorities have since confirmed
that there was no prior coordination
or notification from the Jordanian authorities before these
strikes. Now, Syrian authorities have
also confirmed in the last few minutes that they
have closed the border crossing between the two countries,
citing that they need to preserve
the safety of travellers and their staff.
This isn't, in fact, even the first or only
strike on Syrian territory in the course of Monday.
There was a coalition airstrike using
what appears to have been a Hellfire missile based
on the remains that were found at the scene
on the Damascus Homs Highway earlier on Monday afternoon.
So what this is telling us is that
despite greater coordination between Syrian authorities
and the international community,
indeed the international coalition against ISIS,
which they joined in November of 2025,
we still do have foreign states carrying out strikes seemingly
at will anywhere in Syria.
