Jordan began to pull troops to the border with Syria last night, Al Arabiya said on Friday.

Several tanks and military vehicles were sent to the city of Al-Rams, located on the border of Syria.

There were several armed clashes between government troops of Syria and Jordan on the border of the countries.

Since the beginning of the revolt in Syria, Jordan has granted asylum to 140 thousand Syrian refugees.

Anti-government protests have continued in Syria for more than a year.

They turned into an armed struggle between the opposition and units of the power structures of the country. According to UN, the total number of victims of the conflict in Syria has exceeded 17,000 people. About 230,000 people became refugees.
