The Jordanian Jaber border crossing, opposite the Syrian Nassib crossing, witnessed the return of Syrians to their country following the fall of the Syrian regime.

Jordan’s Minister of Interior, Mazen al-Faraya, stated on Thursday, December 19, that the number of returning Syrians has reached 7,250 since December 8, according to the Jordanian channel “al-Mamlaka.”

He added that most of the returnees are not classified as refugees.

Al-Faraya described the situation in Syria, one day after Bashar al-Assad’s fall, as “the end of a tragedy and years of suffering.”

He explained that Jordan has received more than 1.3 million Syrians, and with the return of safety in areas controlled by the caretaker government, returning has become possible for those who wish to do so.

The Jordanian government announced two days ago the resumption of the entry of Jordanian trucks into Syrian territory.

Approximately 500 trucks from Jordan have entered Syria in the past three days.

Minister of Industry, Trade, and Supply, Yarub Qudah, stated during remarks at the Jaber-Nassib border crossing with Syria that more than 150 Syrian trucks crossed into Jordan heading to various countries.

Jordan had closed the Jaber border crossing on December 6 following the opposition’s control of the crossing, citing “security reasons” for the closure.

At that time, the crossing was limited to the return of Jordanians and Jordanian trucks to Jordan, while the authorities prohibited passage to the Syrian side, including Syrians residing in Jordan.

Syrian opposition factions initiated a military operation that began in the countryside of Aleppo and ended with the capture of the Syrian capital, Damascus, and the escape of the former regime leader, Bashar al-Assad, to Russia on the morning of Sunday, December 8.

The regime fell after 11 days of battles with opposition factions that launched Operation “Deterrence of Aggression” on November 27.

The Nassib-Jaber crossing is the only official one between Jordan and Syria.

The crossing includes three routes: one for incoming travelers, another for departing individuals with their own vehicles or public transport, and a third dedicated to incoming and outgoing trucks.
