Damascus and Amman contradict each other over strikes that killed civilians in Syria
Jordan says it hit ISIL fighters in retaliation for a church attack; Syria calls the raids “treacherous” and public anger grows
Jordan and Syria are giving conflicting accounts of Monday evening's air strikes on southern Syria, which killed a grandmother, her three grandchildren and other civilians. Jordan said the raids, retaliation for a deadly church attack in the kingdom, were carried out in coordination with Damascus; Syria's foreign ministry said they came without prior coordination or notification and called them “treacherous”.
