WorldWhy Jordan struck Syria: What we know

Syria says Jordan launched air attacks in rural Deraa and Suwayda without prior coordination or notice to Damascus. Jordan described the operation as retaliation for an attack on a Greek Orthodox church in Karak governorate and said it targeted “dens of terrorist organizations”. Syrian authorities reported seven deaths, including three children; Jordan had not immediately addressed claims that civilians were killed.
