Jordan's director of public security, Major General Abdullah Al-Maaytah, said the toll from the shooting at a church in the south of the country had risen to seven dead and 34 wounded, 27 of whom were still receiving treatment, according to The Times of Israel.

King Abdullah II said the “terrorist attack against Karak” would be met with “the harshest retaliation”, in an English-language post on X. The gunmen killed at least seven people and wounded dozens in the attack on Friday.
