Haaretz is reporting that IDF troops have fired at three armed men trying to infiltrate Israel, killing one person and seriously wounding a second. The Jerusalem Post and Ynet are reporting that shots were first fired at IDF troops patrolling the border, prompting the IDF troops to return fire.
All media agencies are reporting that there is reason to believe that the incident was drug related – as it occurred near the village of Ghajar, which is split between the two countries by a UN-demarcated line, and has become known for drug smuggling.
