Jordanian released video showing air strikes on Islamic
State (IS) targets are "the beginning of our retaliation" for the killing of a
captured Jordanian pilot, Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh has said.
Jordanian government have vowed to fight IS "with everything that we have". This comes after IS released a video showing Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh being burned alive in a cage.
After Thursday's strikes, Jordanian war planes flew over Lt Kasasbeh's home village.
Their flight coincided with a visit to the village by Jordanian King Abdullah II, who was meeting the pilot's family. The king has vowed to step up the fight against IS. Jordan is part of a US-led coalition bombing the militants.
