Syria closes Nasib border crossing with Jordan after Daraa attack

Syria’s General Authority for Border Crossings and Customs announced early Tuesday the closure of the Nasib border crossing with Jordan, following recent developments in Daraa province in the south of the country.

In a statement, the authority said the decision takes effect on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, and includes a complete suspension of passenger movement and commercial exchange in both directions, citing current circumstances and the need to ensure the safety of travelers and staff at the crossing.

The authority confirmed it will continue to monitor the situation and take necessary measures to ensure everyone’s safety.

The closure comes after Jordanian airstrikes targeted sites in rural Daraa. The Jordanian military said it carried out operations against locations allegedly housing members of terrorist groups linked to the perpetrators of the Karak attack in Jordan.

Meanwhile, Khaled Al-Omayan, director of health in Daraa, reported that 10 civilians, including women and children, were killed in the Jordanian airstrikes targeting several sites in the province’s countryside.
