Three Israelis Killed in Allenby Bridge Attack

A Jordanian gunman killed three Israeli civilians at the Allenby Bridge border crossing between the West Bank and Jordan on Sunday. Israeli security forces returned fire, killing the attacker, identified as Maher al-Jazi, a retired Jordanian soldier. The attack, which occurred in a commercial cargo area, has been condemned by both Israeli and Jordanian authorities, with the latter stressing its rejection of violence and commitment to investigate. Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad praised the attack, while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu condemned it, attributing it to a 'murderous ideology' fueled by Iran. The incident has led to the temporary closure of the border crossing, a critical gateway for goods and people between Jordan and the West Bank.
