Jordan's State Security Court delivered the verdict on Sunday, following the October 23 shooting that targeted mourners attending a funeral at the church.

Security personnel were stationed outside the courthouse as journalists, photographers and relatives of the victims gathered to follow the proceedings.

Lawyer Amer Hussein al-Halseh, who represented the victims' families, confirmed the sentences and explained the court's decision concerning two other defendants.

"The court issued its rulings against the first three defendants, who carried out the terrorist attack, sentencing each of them to death under the provisions of the Anti-Terrorism Law . As for the fourth and fifth defendants, the charges against them were amended to possession of firearms, and each was sentenced to six years in prison after the penalties were combined," he said.

The lawyer also stressed that the families were seeking justice rather than revenge for those killed.

He added that "revenge is not a principle embraced by the families of the martyrs. Rather, their objective and ultimate goal from the very beginning of this case has been to uphold the law and achieve justice in all its aspects."

The attack occurred on October 23 when gunmen opened fire during a funeral service at St George's Greek Orthodox Church, killing nine people and injuring 34 others.

The shooting prompted widespread condemnation from Arab and international governments.

Countries including the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United States and Germany condemned the attack and expressed solidarity with Jordan.
