Jordan has for the second time in a week airdropped medical aid for Gaza.

An official of the Jordanian Armed Forces said a Royal Air Force plane dropped on Saturday urgent medical aid using parachutes to the Jordanian field hospital in Gaza, reported the Petra state news agency.

The operation was held in cooperation with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Qatar to boost the hospital’s capabilities and increase the ability of medical personnel to provide health and treatment services to Palestinians in Gaza.

The Armed Forces confirm that the hospital continues to operate despite the difficult conditions the hospital is suffering from amid ongoing the Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip.

In Syria, 37 militants affiliated to the extremist ISIS group and an al-Qaeda-linked group were killed in two strikes, the United States military said Sunday.

Two of the dead were senior militants, it said.

US Central Command said it struck northwestern Syria on Tuesday, targeting a senior militant from the al-Qaeda-linked Hurras al-Deen group and eight others. They say he was responsible for overseeing military operations.

They also announced a strike from earlier this month on Sept. 16, where they conducted a “large-scale airstrike” on an ISIS training camp in a remote undisclosed location in central Syria. That attack killed 28 militants, including “at least four Syrian leaders.”

“The airstrike will disrupt ISIS’ capability to conduct operations against US interests, as well as our allies and partners,” the statement read.

There are some 900 US forces in Syria, along with an undisclosed number of contractors, mostly trying to prevent any comeback by the extremist ISIS group, which swept through Iraq and Syria in 2014, taking control of large swaths of territory.

US forces advise and assist their key allies in northeastern Syria, the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, located not far from strategic areas where Iran-backed militant groups are present, including a key border crossing with Iraq.
