Jordan Targets Terrorist Hideouts in Southern Syria in Response to Karak Attack

The Royal Jordanian Air Force carried out a targeted military operation on Monday against terrorist organization hideouts in southern Syria, under the name "Jordanian Deterrence – Hamoud," in response to the attack that targeted the funeral of victims at the Hamoud Church in Karak Governorate last Friday.

In a statement, the Jordanian Army said the operation comes as "revenge for our martyrs who died at the funeral of the Hamoud Church in Karak last Friday," confirming that the terrorists who committed this criminal act are linked to the targeted terrorist organizations.

The statement clarified that Royal Air Force fighter jets destroyed several terrorist sites in southern Syria, and the operation resulted in the killing and wounding of numerous members of terrorist organizations, along with the destruction of a number of their vehicles.

The Jordanian Armed Forces affirmed that they "stand ready to confront anyone who dares to threaten the security of citizens," stressing their determination to continue uprooting extremism and terrorism, and to fulfill their duty in protecting the homeland and its citizens and preserving its sanctities.

The army concluded its statement by saying: "May God have mercy on the martyrs of Karak and keep Jordan honorable and impregnable."
