Two IDF soldiers were killed in a shooting attack on Thursday afternoon at the Allenby Crossing between Israel and Jordan.
The security forces neutralized the terrorist at the scene.
An initial investigation found that the terrorist reached the border crossing from the Jordanian side, driving a truck that was meant to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. It would appear the terrorist began to stab the two Israeli citizens after his gun jammed.
After the terrorist entered the Israeli side of the crossing, near the cargo terminal, he began carrying out the attack. He opened fire on people in the area even before his truck reached the checkpoint. The terrorist exited the truck, first shooting at the people there, then stabbing them and causing severe injuries. Only afterward did an Allenby Bridge security guard arrive and neutralize the attacker.
A security official stressed that the terrorist is a Jordanian civilian who was employed by the Jordanian military to transport aid trucks from Jordan to the Gaza Strip.
An Israeli official explained to the media that the aid trucks do not undergo inspection due to an agreement with the Jordanians.
Following the attack, IDF troops encircled Jericho.
