Hundreds of trucks, passenger vehicles, and buses backed up along the road leading to the Jaber border crossing following the closure of the Nasib border crossing between Jordan and Syria in both directions by decision of the Syrian General Authority for Land and Sea Ports.
​Trucks and vehicles lined up along a stretch of approximately three kilometers while being prevented from entering the Jaber border crossing, amid concerns over potential impacts on transported goods.
​The decision to close the Syrian Nasib crossing follows airstrikes carried out by the Royal Jordanian Air Force targeting sites in southern Syria, amid circulating news of attacks on Jordanian vehicles near the crossing.
​The Jaber border crossing is considered one of the key land ports for transport and trade movement in the region, connecting Jordan with Syria and contributing to truck traffic between the Gulf states and Europe, with more than 350,000 trucks passing through it during the current year.
​The Traffic Department is working to organize the movement of backed-up trucks and vehicles on the international highway, amid the disruption of transit traffic and as travelers and trucks await the resumption of operations through the crossing.
