Top military commanders briefed Jordan's King Abdullah on Thursday on air strikes launched against Islamic State in response to the group's killing of a captured Jordanian pilot, state television said.
"His Majesty expressed his pride in the huge efforts undertaken by the armed forces to ensure the stability of the country," state television said.
This comes after the Jordanian military announced it had undertaken air strikes in territory controlled by Islamic State in northeastern Syria which security officials said focused on the outskirts of the city of al-Raqqa, the militants' stronghold.
Earlier on Thursday, Jordan's King Abdullah arrived in A'y, the hometown of murdered Jordanian pilot, Mouath al-Kasaesbeh, who was killed by Islamic State fighters in a video purporting to show him being burned alive in a metal cage.
