Jordan has launched airstrikes against armed groups in Syria following an attack on a Greek Orthodox Church in Karak, which killed nine people last week. The Jordanian air force reported that the operation targeted terrorist groups, resulting in casualties and vehicle destruction. Syria condemned the strikes, claiming they killed civilians and were conducted without notification. Earlier on Monday, Jordanian authorities said they arrested three men linked to the church attack. The suspects, described as extremists, were apprehended in Karak. Jordan's King Abdullah II vowed to respond firmly to terrorism, emphasizing unity among Jordanians. The arrests brought some relief to the victims' families.
