Ammon News - Royal Jordanian Air Force aircraft are continuing intensive firefighting operations in Syria as wildfires persist across several areas for the seventh consecutive day.

Operating in coordination with Syrian civil defense teams, the Jordanian air force has deployed two Black Hawk helicopters to assist in containing the fires, which have spread rapidly through forested and mountainous regions. The mission aims to prevent the further expansion of the blaze and to mitigate its impact on local communities and ecosystems.

The deployment is part of Jordan’s broader humanitarian support to Syria, as the country grapples with an escalating environmental and humanitarian crisis.

According to official sources, the wildfires have proven difficult to contain due to rugged terrain, dense vegetation, and the presence of unexploded ordnance and landmines of previous conflicts. High winds have further complicated response efforts.

Despite these challenges, both ground and aerial firefighting units continue to operate around the clock in an effort to protect lives, property, and natural reserves.
