Two individuals were killed in a shooting and stabbing attack at the Allenby Crossing on September 18th, 2025, between 1:03 PM UTC and 1:33 PM UTC. The assailant, a Jordanian national driving a humanitarian aid truck, was neutralized by security guards at the scene after his weapon jammed and he resorted to stabbing. This incident occurred roughly one hour before the current reporting window began, which spans from 3:34 PM UTC to 3:49 PM UTC on September 18th, 2025. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the attack, stating the terrorist arrived from Jordan and opened fire before being neutralized. Israeli media reports corroborated the two fatalities. The U.S. Department of State had previously issued a security alert for U.S. citizens in Jordan, warning of a potential attack at the crossing. In a separate development, the leadership of the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades issued a statement during this reporting period, warning Israel of a "harsh war of attrition" in Gaza. The statement, attributed to the Brigades' military leadership, declared that Gaza would become a "cemetery for your soldiers" and threatened that Israeli prisoners would not be returned alive or dead if a "criminal operation" in Gaza expanded. The statement also claimed that Israeli families residing in Gaza neighborhoods would be endangered. Previous reports from earlier in the day indicated that two individuals had been injured in a separate incident at the Allenby Crossing. The IDF had confirmed a terrorist incident at the crossing and stated that security forces were conducting searches and encircling Jericho following that initial confirmation. Separately, Quds Network correspondents reported Israeli raids on the south of Gaza City during the previous reporting window.
