Shooting at Allenby Bridge Crossing between West Bank and Jordan kills 3 Israelis

Three Israelis were shot and killed Sunday at the border crossing between the occupied West Bank and Jordan, officials said.

The military said the gunman approached the Allenby Bridge Crossing from the Jordanian side in a truck and opened fire at Israeli security forces, who subsequently returned fire, killing the assailant.

The three people killed were Israeli civilians. Israel's Magen David Adom rescue service told the Associated Press they were all men in their 50s.
