In a tragic incident on Sunday, three Israeli civilians lost their lives in a shooting attack at the Allenby Bridge border crossing between the West Bank and Jordan.
The gunman approached the crossing from the Jordanian side in a truck before opening fire. Security forces quickly responded, taking the attacker down. The victims were Israeli men in their fifties, according to Israel's Magen David Adom rescue service.
This is the first attack of its kind along the Jordan-Israel border since the escalation of the conflict between Israel and Hamas following the assault on southern Israel on October 7.
The Allenby Bridge, also known as the King Hussein Bridge, plays a crucial role as a key crossing point for Palestinians, international tourists, and cargo shipments. The incident occurred in a commercial cargo area under Israeli control where Jordanian trucks offload cargo entering the West Bank.
Authorities are investigating the motive behind the attack, emphasizing the need for heightened security measures to prevent such tragedies in the future. Our thoughts are with the families of the victims during this difficult time.
