Jordan Strikes ISIS Targets in Syria, Says Attack Was Retaliation for Church Assault...

Jordan launched airstrikes into Syria late Monday in response to an attack on a church inside Jordan, claiming the strikes targeted Islamic State positions. Syrian monitoring groups reported at least seven civilian deaths in the bombardment. The incident reflects the fragile security situation across the Syrian border, where militant groups maintain a presence despite years of international military campaigns, and the risk that attacks inside Jordan can quickly trigger cross-border military escalation.
