3 gunmen from Syria killed in Jordan border attack
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Three gunmen on motor bikes launched an attack from Syrian soil on Jordanian border positions Saturday and were killed in a clash with troops, a news website linked to Jordan's military reported.
The Hala Akhbar site said a Jordanian soldier sustained a hand injury and was in stable condition.
The attackers started out Saturday morning from near Rukban, a makeshift border camp that houses tens of thousands of displaced Syrians, the report said.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Jordan has alleged that Rukban houses Islamic militants along with displaced Syrians.
Saturday's attack came during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. A car bomb attack launched from Rukban a year ago, also during Ramadan, killed seven Jordanian troops and led to a closure of the border.
