Jordan's military has carried out its first air strikes on Islamist State targets since a gruesome video of one of its pilots being burnt alive by the militant group emerged earlier this week.
"Tens of Royal Jordanian Air Force aircraft launched consecutive airstrikes to demolish strongholds and holes of the militant organization. The aircraft attacked positions that include training centers belonging to the terror organization as well as ammunition warehouses. All the targets that were attacked were destroyed and the aircraft went back to their bases safely."
The Jordanian air raid has targeted the city of Raqqa in Syria.
This is the de facto capital of the Islamic State's self-declared caliphate.
In returning to Jordan, the fighter-jets involved made a symbolic fly-over of the village of the pilot Muath al-Kasasbeh.
It coincided with visit to the relatives of Kasasbeh by King Abdullah.
The Jordanian King has been warning of severe retribution following the murder of Kasasbeh, who was videoed being burned alive in a steel cage.
Jordanian authorities have already executed two al-Qaida convicts, including the would-be female suicide bomber which the Islamic State had been demanding in return for the safe release of the pilot.
