Jordanian Air Force Strikes Terrorist Sites in Syria

A gun attack during a funeral at St. George’s Greek Orthodox Church in Hamoud, Karak, killed at least seven people and wounded many others, according to reports. Jordan’s armed forces said the attackers were linked to terrorist organizations in southern Syria and that the Royal Jordanian Air Force struck their hideouts in a retaliatory operation coordinated with the Syrian government, killing or wounding several militants and destroying equipment. King Abdullah II and other Jordanian officials have framed the response as part of a broader effort to confront terrorism while preserving national unity and stability. Public reactions have included praise for the King’s visit to the wounded and the government’s mourning declaration, alongside calls to investigate the attack and the authorities’ response.
