Damascus Rejects Jordan’s Coordination Claim After Deadly Strikes in Southern Syria

Syria has expressed its “full reservations” over Jordanian airstrikes in the south of the country, rejecting Amman’s assertion that the operation was coordinated with Damascus.

In a statement on Monday, the Jordanian military said it had struck what it described as “terrorist organizations” in southern Syria. It said the raids were carried out in retaliation for the victims of an attack on a church in Jordan’s southern Karak governorate.

The military said the operation had been conducted in coordination with Damascus, a claim the Syrian government denied.

Syrian authorities reported civilian casualties in the attack on Daraa. No casualty figures were provided in the statements described.

Damascus called for coordination following the strikes, underscoring the dispute between the two governments over how the operation was carried out.
