Jordan strikes militant groups in Syria after church attack

The Jordanian military conducted airstrikes against militant targets in southern Syria on Monday. The operation follows a deadly attack on a church in Jordan last week, which authorities have linked to terrorist groups operating across the border. Hours prior to the strikes, Jordanian officials announced the arrest of three individuals accused of carrying out the killings.

The Jordanian armed forces stated that the aerial operation successfully destroyed several militant hideouts. According to official reports, the military coordinated the strikes after determining that the suspects involved in the church attack were connected to the targeted organizations in Syria.
