DAMASCUS - Jordanian warplanes executed strikes in the Arman area of Sweida province in southern Syria on Thursday, resulting in nine fatalities, a war monitor reported.

A strike targeted a two-story house, claiming the lives of six individuals, namely a husband and wife with their two young daughters, and another couple, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
