This morning’s deadly attack at the Allenby Crossing “requires a thorough investigation” and highlights the need to bolster Israeli defenses, declares National Unity leader Benny Gantz.
The attack serves as “another sign” that Israel needs to bolster the “defensive line on the eastern flank of the State of Israel – the Jordan Valley,” he tweets.
Three Israeli men were killed in a terrorist shooting attack at the Allenby Bridge Crossing between Jordan and the West Bank earlier this morning.
