Following a deadly attack on a church in Karak, Jordan’s military conducted a series of airstrikes targeting locations within southern Syria. Jordanian officials have characterized these operations as strikes against "militant hideouts" intended to address the security threat posed by the perpetrators of the church attack.

Reports regarding the outcome of these strikes differ significantly between sources. Al Jazeera reports that the airstrikes resulted in at least seven deaths, including children, in the Deraa and Suweyda regions. In response to the military action, Syrian authorities have closed border crossings with Jordan. Conversely, DW focuses on the Jordanian government's stated objective, emphasizing the military's claim that they were targeting specific militant infrastructure rather than civilian areas. While all sources acknowledge the causal link between the church attack and the subsequent airstrikes, they provide conflicting accounts regarding the nature of the targets hit and the resulting human impact.
