Jerusalem, 18 September, 2025 (TPS-IL) — Magen David Adom emergency responders confirmed the deaths of two israeli killed in a shooting attack at the Allenby Bridge border crossing with Jordan on Thursday.
“We arrived at the scene with large forces and joined the security forces at the crossing. They led us to two men who were unconscious with gunshot wounds to their bodies while providing them with initial medical treatment. We continued the medical treatment, which included performing CPR operations, at the end of which we were unfortunately forced to pronounce them dead. The terrorist was neutralized by the security forces,” said Paramedic and Director of the Red Cross Section at MDA, Bosmat Lubiner, and MDA Emergency Medical Technician Amit Weiss.
The victims were in the 20s and 60s. Both were coordinating deliveries of humanitarian aid from Jordan to Gaza. The terrorist is said to have arrived at the crossing aboard a Gaza-bound aid truck from Jordan.
One terrorist was reportedly neutralized. Security forces are searching the area for other possible accomplices.
In September 2024, three Israelis workers at the crossing were killed when a truck driver approaching the terminal from Jordan at the terminal opened fire.
The Allenby crossing, near Jericho, is primarily used by Palestinians in Judea and Samaria to travel to Jordan. Israeli travelers use border crossings in Eilat and the northern Jordan Valley.
