Islamist fighters in Syria have reportedly captured a military base in the Daraa province, escalating tensions in the ongoing conflict. The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have also seized control of a strategically significant city in eastern Syria. In response, Jordan has closed its border with Syria, heightening concerns over the security situation.
