Three Israelis Killed in Allenby Crossing Shooting
Three Israeli civilians were killed in a shooting at the Allenby Bridge crossing between the West Bank and Jordan. The attacker, identified as a Jordanian truck driver, opened fire on Israeli workers at the crossing before being neutralized by security forces. Three additional individuals were critically injured and are receiving medical treatment.
The incident has prompted Israeli forces to conduct thorough scans of the area to ensure no further threats are present. The Allenby Bridge, also known as the King Hussein Bridge, is a key border crossing primarily used by Israelis, Palestinians, and international tourists. The attack has heightened tensions in the region, which has seen increased violence since the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel from Gaza.
