West Bank-Jordan border crossing reopens to travellers

The border crossing between Jordan and the occupied West Bank — the King Hussein (Allenby) Bridge — has reopened to travellers but remains closed to commercial activity, the Israel Airports Authority said, Al Jazeera reports.

The closure came after a shooting on Sunday when a Jordanian truck driver killed three Israeli guards at the cargo area of the crossing operated by Israel.

Israeli media said the authority’s move followed orders by security officials.
