The Greater Salt Municipality held a solidarity vigil to express anger and strong condemnation of the cowardly terrorist act that targeted a church in the Hamoud area of the proud Karak Governorate.
The participants expressed their denunciation of the heinous crime that took place in Karak, which does not represent Jordanians in any way, stressing that national unity among all segments of the nation is a firm foundation, brought together by love, brotherhood, belonging, and loyalty to the Hashemite leadership.
The participants emphasized that the cohesion of the Jordanian people, which is an example to be followed by the whole world, is a red line that will not be crossed, and they will not allow the hand of treachery and terrorism to harm the security of Jordan and its people, confirming that our Christian brothers are brothers, loved ones, neighbors, and support; there is no difference between a Muslim and a Christian in this giving homeland.
The participants recited Al-Fatiha for the souls of the martyrs.
They wished a speedy recovery to the injured.
The Salt Municipality also set up a mourning house for the martyrs of the painful incident at the Salt Heritage House in solidarity with the families of the martyrs.
