On the morning of September 8, 2024, a Jordanian truck driver carried out a shooting attack at the border terminal adjacent to the Allenby Bridge connecting Jordan to the Israeli-occupied West Bank, killing three Israeli civilian border workers. The truck driver approached Israeli staff at the terminal and then opened fire, killing three. The perpetrator was shot and killed by Israeli security forces. Following the attack, Israel identified the three victims as workers at the border terminal and residents of Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Jordan identified the attacker as one of its citizens, named Maher Al-Jazy, a lone perpetrator from Husseiniya, southern Jordan, while condemning attacks against civilians and calling for de-escalation. On the streets in Jordan, some citizens gathered to celebrate the attack, amid widespread anger over the war in Gaza.
