Description:

The Israeli military said its troops killed two armed assailants on Friday who had crossed into Israel from Jordan and lightly wounded two soldiers, in a rare attack in the border area.

“Two terrorists who crossed from Jordan into Israeli territory south of the Dead Sea were eliminated by (army) soldiers,” a military statement said, adding that a third attacker was thought to have fled the scene.

Two Israeli soldiers, one of whom was a reservist, were lightly wounded in an exchange of fire with the attackers, the army said, as forces were searching the area “due to the suspicion of the presence of an additional terrorist.”
