Israeli army reports that a gunman from Jordan crosses border and kills three Israelis


A gunman crossing from Jordan killed three Israeli civilians at the Allenby Bridge border in the West Bank before being shot dead by security forces. This attack was the first of its kind along the Jordan border since the beginning of the recent war in Gaza. The incident occurred in a commercial cargo area under Israeli control where Jordanian trucks unload goods entering the West Bank. Following the attack, Israel closed all three of its land border crossings with Jordan. Dozens of trailers cross daily between the two countries, supplying goods to both the West Bank and Israeli markets. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the attack, calling the gunman a “loathsome terrorist” who murdered civilians. On the other hand, Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri praised the attack as a response to Israel’s actions in Gaza and hinted at more similar actions to come. The incident highlights the ongoing tensions in the region, despite the peace treaty between Israel and Jordan and their close security ties. Israeli forces detained Jordanian truck drivers for interrogation following the attack, indicating the seriousness of the situation.
