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".

The UN’s children’s agency says it has activated an emergency cholera response to help protect children and families by containing the disease.

The announcement by UNICEF Friday follows the confirmation of a cholera case in the Akkar governorate in North Lebanon.

The health ministry said in a statement that the cholera case was unrelated to the growing displacement crisis in Lebanon. However, the country remains vigilant in controlling the spread of communicable diseases amid the ongoing displacement.
