Jordan strikes Syria after church massacre: Seven civilians dead in retaliatory raids

Syrian officials reported seven civilians killed, including three children, and disputed Jordan’s claim of prior coordination with Damascus.
Jordan arrested three suspects – two brothers and a brother-in-law – following a dawn raid near the attack site; Islamic State claimed responsibility.
