A group of travelers arrived yesterday (Wednesday) for a trip to the Vanishing River in the Dead Sea region and entered the area suspected of exploitation.
According to the suspicion, Jordanian soldiers fired into the air to warn them.
Military forces arrived at the scene and rescued the travelers.
The phenomenon has become common, and an identical case also occurred last Saturday when another group of travelers was rescued from the area.
An IDF spokesman said about the case, "The group of travelers entered an area suspected of being targeted without coordination, and contrary to the signage posted there.
Upon learning of their entry into the area, forces equipped with the necessary protective measures were deployed to rescue them safely.
Before the arrival of the forces, the citizens left the area contrary to the instructions of the security forces and signage and without being equipped with the necessary means of protection.
The incident was reported to the Israel Police for further processing.
Entering mined areas contrary to signage and instructions is life-threatening."
