Jordan strikes southern Syria after Karak funeral attack

Jordan’s armed forces announced on Monday that the Royal Jordanian Air Force had carried out airstrikes on sites in southern Syria belonging to groups it described as terrorist organisations.

The military said the raids were a response to an attack the previous Friday on a funeral at a church in Hamoud, in Karak.

The announcement linked the cross-border operation to the church attack but did not identify the groups whose sites were targeted.

No details were provided on the precise locations hit, casualties or the extent of damage caused by the strikes.
