A Jordanian citizen working with humanitarian aid opened fire at the Allenby crossing earlier today, September 18th, 2025, injuring two people. A helicopter was dispatched to evacuate the casualties, and reserve fighters, a rapid response unit, and the 47th Battalion were deployed to the scene. The terrorist arrived at the crossing in a Jordanian humanitarian aid truck, according to reports. This incident follows an earlier, more severe attack south of Rafah on September 18th, 2025, where an explosive device detonated, killing four Israeli soldiers and injuring eight others. The explosion targeted an Israeli military convoy moving near the Philadelphia axis. One soldier was reportedly dismembered, initially causing confusion about their status. Unspecified unrest was reported in southern Rafah between 9:16 AM and 9:31 AM UTC on September 18th, 2025. The Israeli Air Force conducted attacks in western Gaza City, and the IDF reported dismantling a weapons storage facility, eliminating terrorists, and destroying military targets in Khan Yunis and Rafah. The Israeli government has stated that the conflict could end if Hamas releases hostages and disarms. Previous reports from August 27th indicated President Donald Trump's approval of a plan for governing Gaza post-war, involving a UN-backed transitional authority named the Gaza International Transitional Authority (GITA).
