Jordanian Strikes in Southern Syria Kill at Least Seven, Including Three Children

Jordanian airstrikes on ISIL (Islamic State) hideouts in southern Syria on October 26 killed at least seven people in Deraa and Suwayda, including five members of one family, three of them children. Jordan says the strikes responded to an ISIL-claimed attack on a Greek Orthodox church in Karak. Jordan's foreign minister expressed deep regret over the civilian deaths.
