Government institutions, ministries, and official departments across all governorates of the Kingdom began flying the Jordanian national flag at half-mast on Saturday in deep mourning for the victims of the terrorist attack that targeted Saint George Greek Orthodox Church in the village of Humud, Karak Governorate.
The state-ordered gesture reflects a pervasive atmosphere of national grief and marks a collective demonstration of solidarity by the Jordanian public with the families of those killed and wounded in the assault.
Authorities stated that the nationwide protocol serves as a clear affirmation of Jordan’s unified domestic front, signaling an unequivocal rejection of all forms of terrorism and violent extremism aimed at fracturing the Kingdom’s social cohesion and enduring interfaith harmony.
The public observance comes as security operations and investigations into the incident continue under tight operational secrecy, accompanied by reinforced protection measures deployed around sensitive sites, diplomatic missions, and public spaces across the capital and major cities.
