The Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan says that two terrorists who were killed by the Israeli army after crossing the border were members of the Islamist group.
The attackers were “members of the group and always participated in events in solidarity with Gaza and in support of the resistance,” Muslim Brotherhood spokesman Moath al-Khawaldeh tells AFP.
The two, who breached the border from Jordan into Israel this morning, south of the Dead Sea, were killed shortly after crossing the border by troops who scrambled to intercept them, in a clash that also injured two soldiers.
