The Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement has denounced the “heinous” terrorist attack on a Greek Orthodox church in Jordan’s southern governorate of Karak that killed seven people and injured dozens.

“This heinous terrorist act against humanity, which constitutes a blatant desecration of the sanctity of houses of worship and brutal massacre of ordinary people, falls within the framework of a string of terrorist activities that have caused death and destruction in our region for years,” Mohammad Khansa, Hezbollah's head of relations with Christian institutions and parties, said in a statement released on Friday evening.

He added that such attempts seek to sow seeds of sectarian discord among regional nations, and undermine the foundations of religious and cultural diversity that characterize West Asia.

“As we censure this criminal assault, we extend our deepest condolences and sympathy to the brotherly Jordanian nation and the families of the victims. We ask Almighty God to envelop the victims in His vast mercy and grant the injured a speedy recovery,” Khansa noted.

Condemnations also came from the United Nations, the European Union, Lebanon, Iraq, Palestine, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain, as well as the Arab League and the Arab Interior Ministers Council.

Friday’s terror attack on mourners attending a funeral at Hamoud Church killed seven people and injured 34, according to Jordan’s Public Security Directorate.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said attacks against civilians and places of worship are unacceptable.

“The UN stands with the Jordanian people and government,” he posted on the social media platform X.

The European Union also condemned the “cruel attack” and extended its full support to the investigation by the Jordanian authorities.

Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Fahmy denounced attacks on places of worship as “an unacceptable terrorist act and a crime condemned by every standard,” pledging support for Jordan’s measures to protect its security and stability.

He urged national unity against attempts to spread discord, division, and chaos.
