A shooting attack has wounded two men at a border crossing between the occupied West Bank and Jordan on Thursday, AFP reports citing Israeli medics.

“Two men, approximately 20 and 60 years old, were critically injured and are unconscious following the attack at the Allenby crossing,” the Magen David Adom emergency service said in a statement.

It was not immediately clear how many attackers were involved. “The details are under review,” the Israeli military said in a statement.
