Summary

Jordan conducted airstrikes in southern Syria on October 27 in retaliation for an October 23 attack on a Greek Orthodox Church in Karak that killed nine people and wounded more than two dozen. Jordan claimed the strikes killed over 20 Islamic State operatives and destroyed a weapons depot. Syria condemned the airstrikes as a violation of its sovereignty and denied receiving prior coordination or warning from Jordan. The strikes hit al-Taf in the al-Mismiyah area and locations near Nasib and Muzayrib. Casualty figures differ between accounts: Syria reported seven civilian deaths including three children, while reports of total casualties from the strikes vary. Jordan expressed regret for civilian casualties. The two countries agreed to establish a joint committee to investigate the incident and strengthen border security, with both nations handling the dispute through diplomatic and legal channels. The Nassib border crossing was closed following the incident.
