Three Syrian gunmen on motor bikes on Saturday launched an attack on Jordanian border positions and were killed in the ensuing clash with Jordanian troops, Jordan's military-linked Hala Akhbar site reported.

According to the site, one Jordanian soldier sustained a hand injury, but was in stable condition.

The gunmen hailed from the Rukban border camp, which houses tens of thousands of displaced Syrians and which Jordanian authorities suspect of harboring ISIS terrorists.
