Jordanian authorities say that the Allenby Bridge Border Crossing will open to pedestrian traffic tomorrow, Jordan’s AlMamlaka TV reports, after the crossing was closed following an attack in which two IDF soldiers were killed on Thursday.
The crossing will remain closed to commercial traffic, the report adds.
A Jordanian man arrived at the crossing from the Jordanian side on Thursday in a Gaza-bound humanitarian aid truck, then opened fire at two IDF soldiers.
He then got out of the truck and, after his gun apparently jammed, stabbed the two soldiers repeatedly until security guards at the crossing opened fire at him, killing him on the spot.
