  • Two men, around 60 and 20 years old, were killed and that the attacker had been neutralized
  • Jordanian state media said authorities were aware of a “security incident”

The Israeli military has received a report of a shooting at the Allenby Crossing between the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Jordan, and details of the incident were under investigation, the military said on Thursday.
Israeli ambulance service said two people were seriously wounded, while Israeli media reported that two alleged assailants were killed.
The Allenby Bridge is a crucial crossing for trade between Jordan and Israel.
In September 2024, a gunman from Jordan killed three Israeli civilians at the Allenby Crossing before being shot dead by security forces, an attack that shut the crossing for two days.
