10 people killed in alleged extrajudicial airstrikes in Syria; HRW urges Jordan accountability, compensation.
Human Rights Watch urges Jordan to ensure accountability and compensate victims' families after airstrikes in southeast Syria killed 10 people on January 18. These strikes, targeting drug and weapons traffickers, appear to be extrajudicial executions. The Syrian government rejected Jordan's attacks, while Jordan's Foreign Ministry neither confirmed nor denied the strikes but highlighted the threat of drug and weapons smuggling to national security.
