Jordan Airstrikes Hit Southern Syria After Church Attack Arrests
Jordanian air forces struck militant hideouts in southern Syria on Monday following the arrests of three suspects connected to a church attack that left nine people dead and at least 34 others wounded. Regional security forces and investigators tied the detained individuals to armed factions operating across the border.
Jordanian Security Forces Sweep Karak Following Mass Shooting
Jordanian security forces apprehended the three suspects in the Al-Judayyda area of Karak on Monday, locating them at a building bearing visible signs of gunfire from the operation. Authorities moved to target the cross-border networks after determining the strike teams had direct operational ties to groups inside southern Syria. Syrian authorities offered no immediate comment on the military action, and details regarding prior coordination with Damascus remain unconfirmed.
The cross-border escalation follows last week’s church massacre, which prompted a sweeping security response across the kingdom.
