A senior member of the Syrian civil defense and medical group that operates in opposition-held areas, known as the White Helmets, has been flown to Germany, a German diplomat said Tuesday.
Der Spiegel reported that Khaled al-Saleh and his family were flown out of Jordan on a Luftwaffe plane late Monday.
He had been living in the kingdom since 2018 after helping organize the evacuation of hundreds of besieged White Helmet members from Syria to Jordan, via Israel.
