Rukban
Rukban is an arid remote area in the extreme northeast of Jordan, near the joint borders with Syria and Iraq.
Refugees coming from Rukban were denied entry by Jordan, citing security concerns regarding the presence of Islamic State sleeper cells. The area became a de facto refugee camp, which drew heavy criticism and condemnation to Jordan by Human Rights Watch in 2015.
On 21 June 2016, a Jordanian military outpost was attacked by a booby-trapped car, leaving 6 dead and 14 injured soldiers.
