Israel closed the Allenby Bridge crossing after a Jordanian truck driver killed two Israeli soldiers, halting aid and travel.

Israel has kept the Allenby Bridge crossing with Jordan closed on September 21, 2025, following a shooting attack that killed two Israeli soldiers near the border. The attack, carried out by a 57-year-old Jordanian aid truck driver who had worked for three months delivering supplies to Gaza, prompted Israel to request Jordan suspend aid transfers through the terminal. Jordan partially reopened the crossing for passenger travel on Sunday but suspended cargo movements and later reversed the decision, closing it again without explanation. The closure disrupted travel for Palestinians relying on the route for medical care, education, and family visits. Both nations condemned the attack, with Israel blaming Jordan for security failures and Jordan calling the incident a threat to its humanitarian mission. No group has claimed responsibility, and the motive remains under investigation.
