Jordan strikes terrorist bases in southern Syria after deadly attack on Orthodox church

Jordanian fighter jets have struck several sites in southern Syria, described by Amman as “terrorist hideouts,” following a deadly attack on a Greek Orthodox church in which nine people were killed and 34 others were injured. The Jordanian Armed Forces said the intervention was carried out after authorities identified links between the individuals suspected of organizing Friday’s attack in the village of Hammoud and terrorist groups active in the area. During the air operation, the Jordanian military destroyed several positions suspected of being used by armed groups. According to the same statement, several members of these groups were killed or wounded, while the exact number of casualties has not been made public.
