Damascus says seven civilians were killed in the strikes and denies coordinating the operation with Amman<\/p>\n
Jordan carried out airstrikes on what it described as terrorist sites in neighboring Syria on Monday following a deadly attack on a Christian church last week. The Syrian government condemned the operation.
\nAccording to the Royal Jordanian Air Force (RJAF), fighter jets targeted \u201chideouts of terrorist organizations in southern Syria.\u201d It added that \u201cseveral terrorists\u201d were killed or wounded and unspecified equipment was destroyed.
\nAlthough the RJAF claimed it had acted in coordination with Syrian authorities, the government in Damascus denied receiving advance notice of the strikes. The Syrian Foreign Ministry said it had informed Jordan of its \u201cobjections to operations on Syrian territory without prior coordination.\u201d
\nKhaled al-Omeian, director of health in Syria\u2019s Daraa province, told SANA that seven civilians, including three children, were killed in the strikes and three others were injured.
\n\u201cWe affirm our support for the affected Syrian families and our full solidarity with them in this tragedy,\u201d the Syrian government said in a statement.
\nJordan vowed retaliation after gunmen opened fire on mourners attending a funeral at a Greek Orthodox church in Hamoud, in Jordan\u2019s Karak governorate, on Friday, killing nine people and wounding more than 40.
\nNo group has claimed responsibility for the attack. Jordanian police arrested three suspects during a raid on a compound in Hamoud. Roya News, citing a source, reported that one of the suspects remained in critical condition following a shootout with police.<\/p>\n

Jordan and Syria share a long border plagued by arms and drug smuggling, particularly the trafficking of Captagon. Jordan has repeatedly carried out airstrikes in southern Syria against suspected smuggling networks and militant groups, raising tensions with Damascus over violations of Syrian sovereignty.
\nJordan has faced a persistent threat from Islamist militants, although major terrorist attacks remain rare. In 2016, ISIS-linked gunmen killed ten people in Karak. Jordanian authorities say they have foiled several Islamist militant plots in recent years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
