Families deny victims killed in Jordanian strike had links to church attack
Strikes hit Syria
Jordan carried out strikes in Syria in response to last week’s church attack. The strikes killed at least seven people, among them a family of five. The account identifies the location of the reporting as Deraa. It does not provide further details about the strikes or the victims.
Amman describes its targets
Amman said the strikes targeted what it called “terrorist hideouts.” The statement framed the action as retaliation for the church attack. The report does not give additional information about the targets or evidence supporting the government’s claim. Relatives of those killed dispute any connection between the victims and the attack.
Relatives deny a connection
Families of the victims deny that their relatives were linked to the church attack. Their position contrasts with Amman’s stated justification for the strikes. The report presents both claims but does not resolve the disagreement. At least seven people were killed, including five members of one family.
