IDF: Earlier today (Friday), IDF soldiers identified a number of suspects in the area of the border with Jordan, south of the Dead Sea, and forces were dispatched to the scene.
Two terrorists who crossed a few meters over the border into Israel and opened fire toward the forces were eliminated by two IDF reservists in the Home Front Command, under the command of the Yoav Regional Brigade.
During exchanges of fire with the terrorists, an IDF soldier and an IDF reservist were lightly and moderately injured and were evacuated to a hospital to receive medical treatment. Their families have been notified.
Numerous IDF and Israeli Security forces are blocking routes and continuing to conduct scans in the area due to the suspicion of the presence of an additional terrorist in the area.
The public is requested to follow the instructions of Israeli security forces.
