Summary

A gunman or gunmen opened fire at St George's Greek Orthodox Church in Hamoud, Karak, Jordan on October 23, 2026, killing 9 people and injuring 40 during a funeral procession. Three suspects were arrested. In retaliation, Jordan's military conducted airstrikes against armed groups in southern Syria, targeting what it described as terrorist organizations linked to the church attack. The Jordanian Armed Forces stated the strikes were coordinated with Syria; Syria denies this coordination occurred. Syrian authorities reported civilian casualties from the strikes, with casualty figures varying between reports (ranging from 5 to 8 deaths reported). The strikes prompted Syria to close the Nassib border crossing with Jordan and launch an investigation. Eyewitness Dirgham Al-Halasah reported great pain in the village affected by the strikes, and Khalid al-Mdanat stated the attack lasted around 15 minutes. International leaders expressed solidarity with Jordan following the church attack.
