Three Israelis were killed in a shooting on the West Bank-Jordan border on Sunday, the Israeli army said.
According to the army, an attacker who came from Jordan to the border crossing of the King Hussein Bridge in a truck opened fire on civilians who were acting as guards on the bridge, killing three people. Security forces shot the attacker.
The Jordanian Ministry of Interior said that according to preliminary investigations, the shooter was a Jordanian citizen. The border crossing was closed after the incident.
The King Hussein Bridge crossing, also called the Allenby Bridge crossing, is the only border crossing to the West Bank without passing through Israel.
Since the outbreak of the Gaza war, violence has also spread to the West Bank. Well over 650 Palestinians and at least 23 Israelis have died during this time, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health and Israeli officials. Israel has occupied the West Bank since 1967.
