Israeli authorities have not provided further details on the nature of the attack or the motives behind it. However, they have stated that security forces are conducting a search for the perpetrators responsible for the attack. The crossing has been temporarily closed following the incident.
The Allenby Bridge crossing is a vital link for Palestinians traveling between the West Bank and Jordan. It is also commonly used by Israelis and tourists traveling to and from Jordan. The crossing is heavily monitored by security forces from both Israel and Jordan.
This incident comes during a period of heightened tensions in the region, with ongoing violence between Israelis and Palestinians. The attack has raised concerns about security at the border and the safety of individuals traveling in the area.
The Israeli government has condemned the attack, describing it as a “serious incident” and vowing to take necessary measures to ensure the safety and security of its citizens. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has expressed condolences to the families of the victims and has assured that the perpetrators will be brought to justice.
As investigations into the attack continue, authorities are urging travelers to exercise caution when traveling in the area and to be aware of any security developments. Further updates on the incident are expected as more information becomes available.
