Today's air strike in Syria mirrors the 2015 Jordanian attack in Syria.
Both campaigns were part of efforts to unify the nation and were launched shortly after attacks by Islamic extremists: the Karak church shooting and ISIS's burning of pilot Kasasbeh

The Nashama have chased them to the very end. We vowed the terrorists would not escape punishment, and no proponent of dark ideologies that divide Jordanians will be tolerated. We pray that the martyrs’ souls rest in peace and wish the injured a speedy recovery.
May God protect and watch over Jordan and its people
Jordan's police chief says the Karak attack terrorists acted alone.
The three Jordanian assailants who were apprehended were named Hazaa Mohammad, Mashal Mohammad, and Ahmad Hussein. The three arrested individuals are family members.

“Jordan should wake up from the illusion it has created by being a moderate island,” @amersabaileh said.
“Over the years, you can easily see that society was radicalizing. Despite this, no one did anything," he added.

Odd @QueenNoor post saying it's "too early to know what actually happened in the Karak tragedy. We are all waiting for news."
It's clear that an awful terrorist attack was behind the killing of Christians in Karak. What is her other explanation?

"@muradbatal, founder of the Rimarcs group for the analysis of political violence, said the targeting of civilians during a religious ceremony bore characteristics associated with attacks by Salafi-jihadi groups, particularly ISIS."

"Another witness speaking to CNN confirmed that the attack 'lasted a long time' with gunmen shouting Allahu Akbar while targeting the courtyard of the church, where most people were standing."

At least 7 people killed in shooting at church in Jordan, public security agency says

An irresponsible @AlArabiya_Eng post. There is no evidence that West Bank or Gaza violence caused this terrorist attack.
If a Jordanian is upset about West Bank violence, then killing Christians inside a Karak church makes little sense.

Devastating news coming out of Karak, Jordan.
Praying for the victims, their families, and all those affected by this depraved and brutal attack on a house of worship.
Attacks on Christians continue to escalate worldwide and must be stopped.

The civil war in Syria may have ended, but the country continues to serve as a source for the trafficking of illegal substances into and via Jordanian territory.
