Two Israelis were wounded in a shooting operation near the Neot Kikar settlement, south of the Dead Sea area, near the border with Jordan, Israeli media reported on Friday.
The Israeli occupation military said it killed two shooters who crossed from Jordan and opened fire, adding there are ongoing searching for a third who is still at large.
The Israeli news website Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the shooters that carried out the operations were wearing military uniforms.
Last month, a similar operation was carried out at the Allenby Bridge crossing, known on the Palestinian side as the Karameh Border Crossing, between Jordan and the occupied West Bank. Israeli media revealed that three police were killed and "Israel's" Magen David Adom ambulance service indicated that it treated the three men at the scene before announcing their deaths.
The media confirmed that the shooter, a Jordanian truck driver, arrived at the crossing and opened fire in the area, initially resulting in three critical injuries before being shot dead by Israeli occupation forces. Israeli media confirmed that the targeted individuals are security personnel in the crossing's authority.
