Two terrorists wearing IDF uniforms entered from Jordan and attacked the Israelis, causing them harm.

On the morning of October 18, 2024, two Israelis were wounded by gunfire from two terrorists who crossed the border into Jordan near the Dead Sea. The suspects were found wearing IDF uniforms. The victims were hospitalized, their condition is moderate, but there is no threat to life.

The IDF quickly responded to the incident, neutralizing the terrorists after a short firefight. The area is now being surveyed to rule out the presence of other infiltrated saboteurs. According to the army, the border was violated and a patrol was sent to arrest him, but the terrorists opened fire.

In light of recent tragic events, police have increased their vigilance ahead of the Sukkot holiday. Threats of terrorist attacks have been received, so security measures have been strengthened in various parts of the country – from cities to Jerusalem and Judea. Measures are planned to strengthen the border with Jordan to prevent such incidents.
