Oct 26 (Reuters) – Jordan said on Monday ​its ‌air force struck what it described as ‌militant ​hideouts ⁠in southern ⁠Syria after determining that the attackers behind ​last week’s deadly ⁠church ⁠attack were ​linked to “terrorist ​groups” operating there.

There ‌was no immediate comment from ⁠Syrian authorities and it was not ⁠clear ‌if the ⁠strikes ​were ‌carried out after ​coordination ⁠with Damascus.
