Two Men Crossing from Jordan Killed by Israel After Injuring Two Israeli Soldiers at border
Occupied Palestine (Quds News Network)- Two fighters were killed by Israeli forces after crossing from Jordan into Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories, after allegedly opening fire on Israeli forces. The two martyrs said the operation came in response to Israel’s genocide war in Gaza.
The incident on Friday took place in Neot HaKikar in the south Dead Sea area, close to the border with Jordan.
"IDF troops were dispatched to the scene and two terrorists who opened fire toward the troops were neutralized by the forces," the Israeli military claimed in a statement.
"Additional forces have been dispatched to reinforce the area and are conducting searches on the ground and air for an additional terrorist who likely fled the scene."
A military source with the General Command of the Jordanian Armed Forces said in a statement posted on its website that there was "no truth" in reports that Jordanian soldiers had crossed the western border of Jordan into Israel.
Unconfirmed images purporting to be of the slain fighters show them in military attire.

منفذا عملية البحر الميت لا ينتسبان لقواتنا المسلحة والزي الذي يرتديانه لا نستخدمه.
Earlier, the Israeli military said that its observers had noticed a group of men trying to infiltrate the border and had sent soldiers to confront them.
Later, the two martyrs were identified as Hussam Abu Ghazala and Amer Kawas.
Videos of the two martyrs reciting their wills have circulated widely on social media. They dedicated their operation to the people of Gaza, in response to Israel’s genocide war and the world’s silence regarding the Israeli crimes committed against Palestinians.
