On September 8, a Jordanian truck driver, Maher Dhiab Hussein al-Jazi, attacked the Allenby Bridge border crossing between the West Bank and Jordan, killing three Israeli security guards before being shot dead. This incident comes amid escalating violence in the West Bank. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the attack, attributing it to Iranian influence, and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir called for intensified counter-terrorism efforts. Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad praised the attacker, while the Allenby Bridge remains closed as Jordan investigates.
