[Regnum] Five civilians were killed in Daraa province in southern Syria as a result of Jordanian airstrikes. This was reported on October 26 by the Syrian state news agency SANA, citing the province's General Health Department.

"Five civilians, including women and children, were killed as a result of Jordanian airstrikes on several targets in rural areas of Daraa province," the statement said.

A statement from the Jordanian Armed Forces, published by the Petra news agency, indicated that the airstrike was carried out on terrorist group targets in southern Syria in response to the terrorist attack on the Orthodox Church of St. George in the province of Al-Karak.

Earlier, the Jordanian Ministry of Health press service reported that the death toll in the terrorist attack at an Orthodox church in Karak, Jordan, had risen to eight. A total of 34 people were injured, 27 of whom remain hospitalized. Eight of the wounded were transferred to a military hospital, and doctors are assessing the condition of two of them as critical.

The day before, on October 23, three unidentified men arrived in a car at the Church of St. George in the Hammoud neighborhood of Karak, got out, and opened fire. Jordanian Interior Minister Mazen al-Farayya called the attack a terrorist attack and claimed it was carried out by a group of extremists. King Abdullah II of Jordan visited the victims in the hospital.
