On September 18, 2025, two Israelis were killed in a shooting attack at the Allenby Bridge border crossing between the West Bank and Jordan. [2] The attack occurred just over a year after the 2024 Allenby Bridge shooting, in which three Israeli border workers were killed by a Jordanian humanitarian aid truck driver at the same crossing. [3]

The attacker who was reported to have crossed from the Jordanian side of the terminal while driving a truck carrying humanitarian aid intended for residents of Gaza, opened fire at Israeli personnel in the cargo terminal. Israeli security forces returned fire and neutralized the assailant. [4] [1]
