Jordanian air force conducted airstrikes against militant groups in Syria on Monday, targeting "terrorist groups" believed to be responsible for last week's deadly attack on a church in Karak, Jordan. The operation reportedly resulted in casualties among the militants.
This action follows the arrest of three men in connection with the church attack, which claimed the lives of nine people and wounded several others. The arrests were made after a shootout, and state media has confirmed the detentions. The Jordanian government has vowed to retaliate against those responsible for the violence.
