Jordan's strike – a reprisal against a gun attack on a church – sparked the worst crisis between the two countries since the ousting of long-time Syrian ruler Bashar al-Assad in December 2024.
Syria condemned the strikes on the country's south as an "unacceptable violation", while Jordan said it killed more than 20 jihadist fighters in its raid.
Jordan sought to ease tensions on Tuesday, saying it had "great respect" for its neighbour and expressed regret for civilian casualties.
