Jordan...the popularity of a sentence said by King Abdullah to one of the victims of the church attack

(CNN) - A sentence said by the Jordanian monarch, King Abdullah II, to one of those injured in the attack that targeted a church in Karak Governorate, sparked interaction among activists on social media sites.

The Jordanian king appears in a circulating video clip published by the official Al-Mamlaka channel in Jordan, addressing one of the injured, saying: “Let us help them.”

The Jordanian Minister of the Interior, Mazen Al-Faraya, had announced that the operation that took place in a church in Karak Governorate was “terrorist,” while the Director of Jordanian Public Security confirmed that the death toll reached 7 people, and 27 others were injured, in a press conference they held on Friday.

On Friday, an eyewitness told CNN Arabic details of what he observed during the shooting that targeted a church in the Karak Governorate in southern Jordan, resulting in the deaths of 7 people, in what the Jordanian authorities described as a "terrorist operation."

In testimony to CNN in Arabic, William Halasa recounted the details of the shooting incident that occurred while praying over the body of his cousin inside a church in the village of Hamoud, north of Karak Governorate, before completing the funeral and burial ceremonies.

William Halasa said that the shooting occurred while praying over the body of his cousin inside a church in the village of Hammoud, north of Karak Governorate, before completing the funeral and burial ceremonies.

He added that he was inside the church, near the body, while praying over him, when he heard the sounds of gunfire, then he went to a nearby window, where he saw someone carrying a machine gun and shooting. He continued that the person, after noticing him at the window, pointed his weapon at him and continued shooting.

Halasa estimated the number of people inside the church at about 200 people, about 100 in the outside courtyard, and “maybe more.” He added that the shooting was followed by screaming, panic, and stampeding among those present, especially women, the elderly, and young people. He pointed out that the prayer was not completed after the incident, and that the body was taken directly to the cemetery.
