Three killed in attack at West Bank-Jordan border

# Three people have been killed in an attack at the border between Jordan and the occupied West Bank. The Israel Defense Forces said three Israeli civilians in their 50s were killed in the shooting at the Allenby Bridge crossing. The attacker approached the area from the Jordanian side in a truck, got out and opened fire. The incident happened in an Israeli-controlled area where Jordanian vehicles offload goods entering the West Bank. The crossing is about halfway between Amman and Jerusalem and the only official crossing point between the West Bank and Jordan.
