AMMAN — The situation on the Jaber border crossing into Syria was stable "so far", an official said on Saturday, amid rising violence on the Syrian side of the border.

Director general of the Jordanian-Syrian free zone Irfan Khasawneh said on Saturday that operations in the zone remained normal and stable despite ongoing developments on the Syrian side of the border.

Khasawneh also noted that warehouses at the Jaber-Nasib free zone currently hold goods equivalent to the capacity of 300 trucks, owned by investors of various nationalities, including Jordanians, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

He also said that 124 Syrian-registered trucks have been stuck at the crossing since last Thursday due to the closure of the crossing from the Syrian side.

Jordan closed its Jaber crossing with Syria on Friday but kept it partially open to receive Jordanians returning from Syria to the Kingdom.
