Jordan, Syria to form security committee after deadly strikes on Islamic State sites
- On Monday evening, Jordanian armed forces launched airstrikes against southern Syria, targeting what it described as "hideouts of terrorist organisations" in retaliation for a Greek Orthodox church attack.
- Gunmen killed nine people and wounded 25 others last week during a funeral service in Hammoud, prompting King Abdullah II to vow that "the terrorists would not escape punishment."
- Jordan's government claimed the strikes killed more than 20 jihadists, while Syria's civil defence agency reported seven civilian deaths, including three children from one family in Al-Taf, Daraa Governorate.
- Syria closed its main Nassib border crossing with Jordan, known as Jaber on the Jordanian side, suspending all passenger and commercial traffic and citing "the current circumstances."
- Government spokesperson Mohammad Al-Momani expressed regret for "unintended casualties," stressing that Jordan holds "great respect" for the Syrian state amid the worst crisis since Bashar al-Assad's ouster in December 2024.
