Three Israeli security guards were shot dead at the Allenby Bridge crossing between Jordan and the West Bank on September 8, 2024. A gunman from the Jordanian side approached in a truck, opened fire, and was killed by Israeli security forces. The crossing has been closed, and Jordan is investigating the incident. The attack occurred in an area where Jordanian trucks offload goods into the West Bank. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it a "loathsome terrorist" act. Hamas praised the attack, linking it to the ongoing conflict in Gaza but did not claim responsibility.
