The Jordanian military has firmly denied reports of its soldiers crossing the western border into Israel after a shooting incident near the southern Dead Sea, which left two Israeli soldiers with minor injuries.
The denial came in an official statement released by the Jordanian army following Israeli media reports that circulated an image of one of the attackers involved in the incident, allegedly dressed in military uniform.
A Jordanian military spokesperson clarified that the claims made by Israeli media, suggesting Jordanian soldiers had crossed the border, were entirely false.
The army emphasized the importance of obtaining information from official sources and warned against spreading misleading rumors or unverified news. The Jordanian military is closely monitoring the situation.
Earlier, the Israeli army released a statement indicating that several armed individuals had been spotted infiltrating from Jordan into Israeli territory near the southern Dead Sea.
Israeli public broadcaster reports confirmed the injury of two Israeli soldiers in the gunfire exchange in the area.
According to Israel’s Army Radio, two attackers were killed after crossing from Jordan, and local residents were advised to remain indoors during the incident.
While tensions remain high along the border, both nations are maintaining close observation of developments.
