The remains of two Jordanian terrorists involved in a deadly attack near the Dead Sea two months ago were handed over to Jordan late Tuesday evening.
The assault took place close to the Neot Hakikar area, located south of the Dead Sea, when two terrorists opened fire at Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers after crossing into Israel dressed in military uniforms.
During the incident, one IDF reservist was injured moderately, while another soldier sustained lighter injuries during the gunfire exchange.
According to a military official, the attackers were armed with cutting tools to breach the border fence, along with Glock handguns, binoculars, a map, and an Arabic-Hebrew dictionary.
The IDF issued a statement confirming: “Following the directive of the political echelon, the bodies of the two terrorists who infiltrated into Israel from Jordan and conducted a shooting attack toward IDF troops south to the Dead Sea on October 18th, 2024, were returned to Jordan overnight.”
