A man was shot by Jordanian Army forces while attempting to cross the border into Israel near Kibbutz Maoz Haim on Saturday, N12 reported.
During the incident, three men reportedly tried to cross the border into Israel, after which they were spotted by Jordanian forces, who began firing towards them.
Two of the men returned back to Jordanian territory after the first shots were fired, while the third continued to approach the border and was killed by gunfire from Jordanian forces.
A spokesperson for the IDF said that "the entire incident occured on the Jordanian side [of the border] with no involvement from the IDF."
The IDF added that the incident was "likely not an attempt to penetrate Israeli territory."
The Jordanian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that all those who crossed the border into Israel were foreign citizens, N12 reported.The incident follows an earlier event that occurred on Friday night, during which the IDF arrested five men suspected of crossing the border from Jordan to Israel, according to the IDF Spokesperson's Unit.
The suspects were stopped near the Dead Sea Factories. They were unarmed and interrogated at the scene.
