Two Jordanians neutralized after injuring Israeli soldiers near Dead Sea

WEST BANK  (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Two Israeli soldiers were injured on Friday morning during a shooting operation at the illegal settlement of Neot HaKikar, which is located south of the Dead Sea near the border between occupied Palestine and Jordan.

According to the Hebrew media, two armed men crossed the border near Neot HaKikar and opened fire at Israeli forces wounding two of them.

The Hebrew media claimed the gunmen tried to infiltrate into the settlement before being neutralized by Israeli forces, without stating clearly if they were shot dead.
