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".
