Summary

Jordan conducted airstrikes in southern Syria's Daraa province in retaliation for an attack on a Greek Orthodox church in Karak, Jordan that killed nine people. Jordan claims the strikes killed over 20 Islamic State militants, while Syria's government and transitional authorities deny they were consulted or authorized the operation. Syrian health officials reported 7 deaths including 3 children and 3 injured from the strikes, which hit locations near al-Taf in the al-Mismiyah area and towns near Nasib and Muzayrib. Jordan's Government Communication Minister stated the strikes avoided known civilian areas but expressed regret for civilian casualties. Syria condemned the operation as a violation of its airspace and sovereignty, and closed the main border crossing with Jordan in response.
