Another week and three more Israelis shot and killed by Jihadist arabs. Today’s attack took place at the Allenby border crossing with Jordan when a Jordanian truck driver driving a truck filled with humanitarian supplies for Gaza opened fired and killed three Israelis at the security checkpoint.
Security guards fired back, killing the Jordanian terrorist. Despite Jordan having a peace treaty with Israel, the king is a known supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood (the parent terrorist organization to Hamas) and the country is filled with “palestinians”.
The incident at the border crossing took place Sunday morning at a similar time to the attack last Sunday that killed three Israeli policemen in Har Hebron.
Magen David Adom (MDA) stated, “After resuscitation efforts, MDA paramedics and EMTs, in cooperation with an IDF medical team, have pronounced the deaths of three men, approximately 50 years old, with gunshot wounds.”
MDA EMT Yotam Tzur, said, “This is a very severe incident. We found three men lying unconscious, with no pulse and not breathing, with gunshot wounds. Together with the IDF medical team, we performed resuscitation efforts, but unfortunately, we had to declare their deaths on scene.”
United Hatzalah EMT Avi Yudkovsky reported from the scene, “It was a very difficult scene at the Allenby Crossing. Three men in their fifties sustained severe gunshot wounds. Despite efforts to resuscitate them, they were pronounced dead at the scene due to the severity of their injuries.”
The IDF stated, “Following the initial report, a short while ago a terrorist approached the area of the Allenby Bridge from Jordan in a truck, exited the truck, and opened fire at the Israeli security forces operating at the bridge. The terrorist was eliminated by the security forces, three Israeli civilians were pronounced dead as a result of the attack.”
“IDF soldiers were dispatched to the scene and are currently operating to rule out the suspicion of the truck being rigged with explosives, further details to follow.”
Following the attack, the Israel Airports Authority states that all the land crossings with Jordan have been closed until further notice. In addition to the closure of Allenby Bridge, the IAA says the Rabin crossing near Eilat and Jordan River crossing near Beit Shean, are closed at the request of security authorities.
