Shooters infiltrate Israel from Jordan, injuring multiple IDF soldiers
An armed attack near the Dead Sea in the Neot HaKikar area resulted in serious injuries to two Israeli soldiers. Preliminary investigations indicate that the assailants, believed to have crossed from Jordanian territory, ambushed the soldiers, leading to a sudden exchange of gunfire.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) promptly responded to the attack, successfully eliminating both attackers. According to IDF statements, the military had previously identified a group of individuals crossing the border from Jordan into Israel in the southern Dead Sea region.
The injured soldiers are receiving medical treatment, and the situation is under ongoing evaluation. Authorities are investigating the incident and reinforcing security measures along the border.
This incident underscores the persistent security challenges in border regions and the inherent risks faced by military personnel in such volatile areas.
