West Bank's main crossing with Jordan is closed by Israel following a deadly strike
The Allenby Bridge Crossing, a key route for trade between Jordan and Israel, has been closed following a shooting incident last Friday. The incident, which disrupted normal activities at the crossing, resulted in the death of two Israeli military personnel and an assailant, according to Israeli medics.
The details of the shooting incident are currently under investigation by the Israeli military, and no group has claimed responsibility for the attack. The region experiences ongoing violence involving Israeli forces and Palestinian groups such as Hamas, but no clear attribution to a specific organization for this particular attack at the Allenby Bridge has been found.
In response to the incident, the Israeli military conducted raids in the West Bank, arresting 12 more Palestinians. During these raids, several buildings in the West Bank's Jenin were destroyed.
The closure of the Allenby Bridge crossing has affected trade between Israel and Jordan. The Jordan River crossing in the north was shut, while the Rabin crossing in the south remains open only for workers. The Allenby Bridge is the only gateway for more than 3 million Palestinians in the West Bank to reach Jordan and the wider world.
The Israeli Airports Authority operates the Allenby Bridge crossing, and the investigation into the shooting incident is ongoing.
