Video from Jordanian state TV shows three gunmen—two pistols, a semi‑automatic rifle—entering a Greek Orthodox church in Karak, firing into the congregation before fleeing.
Witnesses said the gunfire erupted fifteen minutes into the funeral, forcing mourners to sprint for cover.
The attack comes months after a 2016 ambush at a Crusader castle in the same city, where ten people died and police later neutralized the assailants.
King Abdullah II pledged the harshest penalties and offered condolences, while Prime Minister Jafar Hassan called the assault a terrorist act fueled by extremism.
Jordan has declared three days of national mourning, and security forces have launched a full‑speed investigation, with arrests expected soon.
