AlQa'dah 28, 1433, Oct 14, 2012, SPA - Dozens of Syrians were injured late Saturday while attempting to cross into Jordan, officials say, as Damascus intensified military operations in the border region, DPA reported. According to a Jordanian security source, more than two-dozen Syrians were injured late Saturday after Syrian military forces opened fire on a group of some 400 refugees attempting to flee to Jordan. Among the injured were four men who suffered burns and shrapnel wounds after a missile attack on the group, one of whom is currently listed in "serious condition," according to the source. Saturday's incident comes amid a reported rise in the number of Syrians wounded while attempting to cross into Jordan, with the UN Refugee Agency reporting the arrival of 50 injured refugees last week alone. Jordan maintains an open border policy, and has granted refuge to 210,000 Syrians since the beginning of the crisis - the most of any of Syria's neighbours.
