Israeli Military Says It Killed Two Attackers Crossing from Jordan

The Israeli military said its forces have “neutralized” attackers crossing from Jordan into Israel south of the Dead Sea region and neutralized two of them after they opened fire on Israeli forces, the Israeli army said in a statement on Friday.
Israeli military often uses the term "neutralization" to indicate that attackers have been killed, but it can also refer to their arrest or injuries, meaning they are no longer capable of causing harm.
Avichai Adraee, the spokesperson for the Israeli army, stated in a post on the X platform that the military forces "recently spotted a number of assailants who crossed from Jordan into Israeli territory south of the Dead Sea. The forces rushed to the location and managed to neutralize two assailants who opened fire at them".

Israel’s military said Friday it allowed 30 trucks of humanitarian aid into northern Gaza, the latest delivery over the past week as Israel faces pressure from the US to ramp up aid.

The Israeli military body in charge of humanitarian aid, COGAT, said the trucks carried food, water, medical supplies and shelter equipment. There was no immediate confirmation from the UN that the aid arrived and was being distributed in the north.

Aid crossings to the north of the strip were closed for the first two weeks of October, the UN says, sending food and water levels plunging in an area where some of the heaviest fighting in Gaza is taking place.

The closures raised fears that Israel was implementing an extreme plan proposed by Israeli generals to besiege northern Gaza and starve out Hamas fighters there.

Following a letter from the US saying the continual closures could risk continued weapons funding for Israel, Israel says that crossings have reopened and aid is continuing to flow.
