Gunman kills three Israelis at border crossing from Jordan to West Bank A gunman from Jordan arrived at the Israeli-controlled part of the Allenby Bridge crossing on Sunday and opened fire on Israeli security forces, killing three forklift operators. The attacker, identified as a Jordanian citizen, was subsequently killed at the scene. The motive of the attacker remains unclear, and it is not known how the gunman managed to bring a weapon into the Israeli-controlled area. The crossing, a crucial pathway for Palestinians in the West Bank to travel abroad and for transporting goods, has been closed following the incident. The attack comes amidst heightened tensions in the West Bank since the outbreak of violence in Gaza, with Hamas praising the attack but not taking credit for it. The incident has further strained the delicate relationship between Israel and neighboring Jordan, which has seen large protests over the war in Gaza. Jordan, a close U.S. ally with a peace treaty with Israel, has condemned Israeli airstrikes in Gaza while also maintaining coordination with Israeli officials on security and economic matters. The shooting at the crossing follows a recent Israeli military operation in the West Bank city of Jenin, which left behind significant destruction and raised concerns about rising attacks against Israelis. Additionally, the death of an American-Turkish woman at a protest in the Nablus region has prompted demands for an independent investigation by her family, as well as hopes for increased attention to the Palestinian cause from the U.S. government.
