According to the Jordanian military, “several members” of terrorist organizations were injured or killed in the attack in Syria. It also said there was a connection between the groups targeted and the church attack.
According to the Syrian state news agency Sana, the Syrian government said Jordan had not coordinated the attack with it and that the country would investigate what happened.
At least nine people were killed and 40 injured on Friday when gunmen opened fire inside a Greek Orthodox church in southern Jordan.
The country's King Abdullah II promised "the harshest possible punishment" for those responsible, and three days of national mourning were declared.
