Three civilians killed in West Bank-Jordan border attack, say Israeli officials | BBC News


Three people have been killed in an attack at the border between Jordan and the occupied West Bank, Israeli officials say.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said three Israeli civilians were killed in the shooting at the Allenby Bridge crossing.

The attacker approached the area from the Jordanian side in a truck, then got out and opened fire, the IDF said.

Security forces "eliminated" the gunman and the IDF is checking the truck over for signs of explosives, a statement said.

Jordan says it has closed its side of the border and is investigating the incident.
