Jordanian fighter jets have returned home after carrying out missions, state-run TV reported Thursday.
There was no immediate word on what the missions were or where they took place, but a government spokesman said most targets would be in eastern Syria.

Al-Momani said the airstrikes were being coordinated with coalition allies.
