The Royal Jordanian Air Force conducted airstrikes against terrorist organizations in southern Syria, identifying the targets as responsible for a recent attack on a Greek Orthodox church in Karak. The Jordanian Ministry of Defense stated that the operation was a direct response to the Friday attack, which resulted in seven fatalities. Amman announced yesterday that the perpetrators of the church attack had been apprehended, and that they were linked to the targeted terrorist groups. The Jordanian Air Force reported that the strikes in Syria killed and wounded numerous members of these organizations and destroyed several of their vehicles. The article notes that such direct military action by Jordan is highly unusual and suggests it may be influenced by Israel's regional defense strategy and the significant scale of terrorist incidents within Jordan.
