Jordan says that two citizens arrested by Israel after the September 8 shooting attack at the Allenby Bridge were returned to Jordan.

Jordan’s Foreign Ministry names the men as Musleh Al-Awdat and Hussein Al-Naimat. It also says they “are in good health and are now heading to their families.”

Three Israeli men were killed in the terrorist attack, which was carried out by a Jordanian truck driver who had arrived from Jordan. The attacker was shot dead at the scene.
