Jordanian intervention in the Syrian Civil War

Turkey and Jordan have inked a military cooperation agreement, the Jordanian army said in a statement on Feb. 20.

Syria will not allow foreign ground troops on its territory to fight the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem said on Feb. 9.
      
Speaking at a news conference in Damascus, Muallem also said Jordan had not responded to a Syrian request to coordinate efforts against ISIL after the group killed a captured Jordanian pilot.
      

First of all, this was a ?cover-up operation? for ISIL, trying to whitewash its defeat in Kobane two weeks ago. By increasing the level of its barbarism and creating a much larger wave of shock, it was able to jog people?s memories again about its supposed ?invincibility.?

Another aim was to attract more jihadists from around the world by widening the horrifying effect.

Jordan weighed its next move Feb. 5 against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) after vowing a harsh response to the burning alive of a fighter pilot, whose family called for the jihadists to be "destroyed".
      

Jordan's King Abdullah vowed a "relentless" war against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) on their own territory on Feb. 4 in response to a video published by the hard-line group showing a captured Jordanian air force pilot being burned alive in a cage.
   

The Jordanian government executed two Iraqi jihadists early on Feb. 4, hours after the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) burned alive Muath al-Kasaesbeh, a Jordanian Air Force pilot who was captured in Syria in December 2014 after his F-16 crashed.

The brutal murders of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) have prompted Islamic-style reactions - including execution of its members and calls for more violence against the jihadists.

The United Arab Emirates pulled out of the air campaign fighting Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militants after the capture of a Jordanian pilot who has since been killed by the extremists, the New York Times reported Wednesday.
      
The pilot was captured in December and ISIL militants released a video Tuesday showing the man in a cage being burned alive.

Turkey has strongly condemned the killing of a Jordanian pilot, who was apparently burnt to death by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) jihadists, vowing full support in the fight against terror with Jordan and the international community.

Jordan executed two death-row jihadists at dawn on Feb. 4 after vowing an "earth-shattering" response to avenge the burning alive of one of its fighter pilots by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
