Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani on Saturday attributed Jordan's withdrawal of a statement reporting an alleged infiltration attempt from Syrian territory to a hasty assessment of events on the ground, saying no clashes had taken place along the border between the two countries.
He said the Jordanian leadership had shown understanding and a willingness to put the incident behind them, safeguard Syrians' rights, and prevent a recurrence.
Earlier today, the Jordanian Armed Forces removed a statement from their official website claiming they had foiled an attempted infiltration by 14 armed men from Syria. Jordanian media outlets also withdrew their reports on the incident.
The source said Jordanian guards had alerted their Syrian counterparts after spotting movement in the area but opened fire despite being informed that Syrian personnel were on their way to investigate.
The gunfire stopped after the two sides made contact and Syrian border guards arrived at the scene, where they found the children sheltering on the ground, ruling out any attempted infiltration, he added.
