The attack, according to a report in the Jordanian newspaper Al-Rai, involved four ISIS terrorists who were arrested in February and who were supposed to operate in the Jordan Valley in the Ghor es-Safi area near the southern Dead Sea. They were set to first attack Jordanian soldiers guarding the border before reaching the Israeli soldiers, who they were prepared to kill.
