Late on Monday, Jordanian fighter jets carried out airstrikes targeting what the military described as "terrorist hideouts" in southern Syria. The military action was conducted in retaliation for a deadly attack that occurred three days prior during a church funeral in Jordan’s Karak governorate, which authorities linked to terrorist groups.
Following the military strikes, a Syrian health official reported that five civilians were killed. Syrian authorities did not issue an immediate comment regarding the operation, and it remained unclear whether the strikes were carried out in coordination with Damascus.
