Operatives from Jordan infiltrated into the occupied territories’ Dead Sea area on Friday and opened fire, injuring two Israelis.
The Jordanian operatives, who wore Jordanian military uniforms, were shot by the occupation forces, Israeli media reported.
The attack took place near the so-called Neot HaKikar located near the Dead Sea 3 kilometers (1.8 miles) away from the border, according to Ynet.

The occupation army said forces killed the two Jordanians, adding that search are underway in the area for a third operative who probably crossed with the two others but fled the scene of the shooting. The Israeli military added that its air force was assisting ground forces in the search.
Earlier in September, three Israelis were killed as a Jordanian truck driver opened fire on them at the Allenby Bridge border crossing between the West Bank and Jordan.5
