Syria and Jordan Troops Clash on Border
(Telegraph-Australia) A clash occurred between Syrian and Jordanian soldiers in the Tal Al Sihab region after Syrian forces opened fire on some 300 refugees attempting to flee into Jordan. The Syrians had targeted Jordanian forces by mistake. Jordanian soldiers returned fire, igniting a fierce, 10-minute battle between the two sides. Jordanian government spokesman Smaih Maaytah said Syrian forces injured several refugees, including one child who died. Jordan has granted refuge to 150,000 Syrians since the start of the conflict.
