The Palestinian Authority’s General Director of Borders and Crossings, Nazmi Muhanna, announced that the King Hussein (Allenby) crossing will reopen tomorrow at 10 am local time.
Muhanna informed the official news agency Wafa that the crossing will be open only for travellers and will remain closed to commercial trucks.
This follws after a Jordanian citizen on Sunday shot and killed three Israelis in an attack near the Allenby Bridge border crossing between the occupied West Bank and Jordan.
Israeli media identified the shooter as Maher Dhiab Hussein al-Jazi, 39, from the southern Jordanian town of Udrah in Maan governorate, a town that supplied troops to fight in the 1948 Battle of Jerusalem.
