Rebels have seized control of the Syria-Jordan border crossing, marking a significant development in the ongoing conflict in southern Syria. The fighters launched a fresh offensive, culminating in the capture of the Nassib border crossing from government forces. This strategic location is situated at the southern end of the vital M5 highway, which connects Aleppo in the north to Damascus, the capital.
A video depicting armed fighters parading down a road near the Nassib border crossing confirmed the shift in control. Following their success in Aleppo and Hama, the rebels are now targeting Homs as their next objective. The rebels' advancement along the M5 highway has been swift and impactful, prompting Jordan to close its Jaber border crossing opposite Nassib due to the escalating security situation in southern Syria.
