Suspects in a terrorist attack on an Orthodox church have been detained in Jordan

Jordanian security forces successfully carried out a special operation during which three suspects were detained in connection with a terrorist attack on a church. According to the Orthodoxia News Agency, the detentions took place in the morning following an attack on a Greek Orthodox church.

According to an official statement published on social media, specialized law enforcement units carried out a joint operation, resulting in the alleged terrorists being taken into custody. It is noted that all three suspects sustained injuries during the arrest.

The attack in question took place last Friday in the village of Hamud, located in the south of the country. As a result of this “despicable terrorist attack,” as official sources described it, nine people were killed and another 25 were injured to varying degrees. The investigation into the incident is currently ongoing.

As a reminder, we previously reported that the ISIS group officially claimed responsibility for the armed attack on the Greek Orthodox Church of St. George in the Jordanian village of Hamud, which took place on October 23, 2026. The incident occurred during a funeral in the province of Karak, resulting in significant casualties and sparking a wave of international condemnation.
