On Friday, an armed attack took place at a Greek Orthodox church in the village of Hamoud, located in Jordan’s Karak governorate. According to reports, gunmen arrived at the site during a funeral procession and began firing into the crowd. The incident resulted in at least seven fatalities and dozens of injuries among the parishioners in attendance.

While both sources agree on the location, the timing of the attack, and the casualty count, they differ in their characterization of the perpetrators. The Times of Israel reports that Jordanian authorities have officially described the assailants as an "extremist group" and notes that King Abdullah II has vowed the "harshest retaliation" against those responsible. The Washington Examiner focuses on the immediate details of the event, identifying the gunmen as "armed men" but does not mention the government’s specific classification of the group or the King’s public response. A manhunt for the suspects is currently underway, though neither outlet has provided details regarding the specific identity or affiliation of the gunmen beyond the general "extremist" label provided by the Times of Israel.
