the source added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the clashes some smugglers leaked into the town that their houses were violently damaged due to the mutual firing, according to the source.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, people of the town fled to the northern part of the town fearing clashes to continue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hours after the operation, the Jordanian security authorities announced through their media, that they curbed a drugs smuggling attempt to their territories through the Syrian borders. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the operation; they seized a load of drugs that contained 1,942 bags of hashish and more than 20,000 pills of Captagon in addition to other narcotic substances, the authorities added.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The source said that this incident is not the first, and that &#8220;financed groups of drug dealers affiliated with the Lebanese Hezbollah militia have violated the southern region to be a large area for smuggling drugs to Jordan.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reporting by Sami Ali&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the operation;
