The IDF suspects that the truck in which a terrorist arrived at the Allenby Bridge crossing to carry out a shooting attack is possibly rigged with explosives.
Sappers have been dispatched to the scene to investigate the truck, the military says.
According to the IDF, the terrorist arrived in a truck from Jordan and opened fire at workers at the crossing — between Jordan and the West Bank — killing three.
He was then shot dead by security forces, the military adds.
