Amman (AFP) - Jordan vowed further retaliation against the Islamic State group for the burning alive of one of its pilots, as thousands rallied in Amman Friday in solidarity with his grieving family. The Jordanian military said "dozens of jet fighters" struck IS targets on Thursday, hitting militant training camps as well as weapons and ammunition depots. Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh told CNN the operation was "the beginning of our retaliation over this horrific and brutal murder of our brave young pilot." IS earlier this week released a highly choreographed video of the horrifying murder of pilot Maaz al-Kassasbeh, whose death has sparked grief and deep anger in Jordan. Judeh declined to reveal Jordan's military plans but said it would hit the militants with all its might. "We're upping the ante. We're going after them wherever they are, with everything that we have," he said. Jordan's King Abdullah II (left) offers his condolences as he greets Safi -- the father of pilot. "We're going to go after them and we will eradicate them... We are at the forefront. This is our fight." American F-16 and F-22 jets provided security to the Jordanian fighter planes, with additional support from refueling tankers and surveillance aircraft, US officials said. Thousands marched in the capital on Friday in a show of solidarity for the murdered pilot. "the world 'must destroy' IS now" says King Abdullah, "nd we shall do it and bring peace to the world!"-
