Jordan said Tuesday it had killed more than 20 jihadists in strikes on Syria conducted the day before, in retaliation for a deadly attack on a church.

"The preliminary results of these operations indicate significant losses among Daesh's ranks -- estimated at more than 20 fighters -- and the destruction of a large weapons depot belonging to the organization," government spokesman Mohammed Al Momani said, referring to the Islamic State group.
