Meanwhile, a Jordanian security source said that the Daraa-Ramtha border crossing has been closed since the conflict erupted in neighboring Syria, noting that no crossing of people or goods goes through that border.
The source noted that the 'Jaber' border remains the only border crossing between the two countries that is open for people's movement between Syria and Jordan.
