Israel shut the sole gateway between the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Jordan on Friday, September 19th, 2025, hours after a driver delivering humanitarian aid killed two Israeli military personnel at the crossing. The incident occurred a day after the driver, who was bringing aid from Jordan for Gaza, opened fire. The crossing closure was announced by Israeli authorities, with no specific time provided for its reopening. The attack, which resulted in the deaths of two Israeli military personnel, prompted the immediate closure of the Allenby Bridge crossing. According to a report from Newsmax, the driver involved in the shooting was bringing humanitarian aid from Jordan for Gaza. No further details regarding the identity of the victims or the perpetrator were immediately available. This closure comes amidst ongoing operations in the West Bank, including the arrest of a terrorist squad in Raches earlier today and the dismantling of a rocket-producing cell in Kfar Naama and Ramallah in the preceding hours. These operations have involved the arrest of activist Hamza Al-Masri and the discovery of rocket production materials. Separately, Hamas gunmen had previously seized UNICEF aid trucks carrying baby formula in Gaza City.
