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

The manager of the crossing, Alex Chen, said the shooter was a Jordanian driver, adding that the crossing has been closed until further notice. “The terrorist shot dead three employees of the Allenby terminal at close range,” before being killed by a security guard, he said.

All three land crossings between Israel and Jordan were closed following the attack, the Israel Airports Authority said. The Allenby crossing mainly serves Palestinians and foreigners, with Israelis not permitted to use it.

    How convenient. Sorry if I lack sympathy, I’m just not sure how much of what is coming out of Israel’s mouth is trustworthy anymore.

    So let me get this straight. Israelis are not allowed to use this border crossing but they are guarding it? Makes total sense if you’re Israel I guess.

    They also use the term civilian very loosely when it comes to their own citizens, I guess every Israeli is a civilian and every Palestinian is a fighter. Cool cool cool.

      Correction: Male Palestinians are considered combatants, while Palestinian women and children are shields. Anyone else feel like screaming into a void but reminded themselves to protest instead?

        Correction^2: Male Palestinians are considered Hamas, while Palestinian women and children are Hamas.
