Three Israeli civilians have been killed in a shooting at the Allenby Crossing on the border between the occupied West Bank and Jordan, Israeli authorities said Sunday.

Three Israelis were gunned down at the border crossing between the West Bank and Jordan yesterday, hours after the latest Israeli airstrikes in Gaza killed seven people, including two women, four children and a member of the local civil defence.

Israel’s military said the gunman approached the Allenby Bridge Crossing from the Jordanian side in a truck and opened fire at Israeli security forces, who killed him in a shootout.
