An IDF soldier and reservist were lightly and moderately wounded following an exchange of fire with terrorists who crossed into Israel from Jordan near Neot Kikar in the Dead Sea area, the military said on Friday.
The two were transferred to the hospital for further medical treatment.
The military said IDF troops killed two terrorists who infiltrated Israeli territory near the Jordanian border while ground and aerial searches were underway for an additional terrorist who had probably fled the scene.
The terrorists were identified by IDF observers who dispatched troops to the area, the IDF noted.
Earlier, the military said that having identified terrorists infiltrating Israeli territory, troops were expedited to the area.
Two terrorists who opened fire at the soldiers were subsequently killed, the IDF said.
This is a developing story.
