Jordan reopened its border crossing with the occupied West Bank on Sunday after a three-day closure. The Allenby terminal permits travelers to pass through while cargo movement remains halted. State media reported heavy traffic moving in both directions throughout the morning. This crossing serves as the sole route for West Bank Palestinians to travel internationally without entering Israeli territory.

A Jordanian driver attacked the crossing on Thursday while transporting humanitarian supplies to Gaza. Abdel Mutaleb al-Qaissi fired upon Israeli forces and killed two personnel before soldiers stopped him. The 57-year-old man had delivered aid shipments for three months before the incident occurred. Jordanian authorities condemned his actions and began investigating the attack immediately.

Officials described the violence as harmful to Jordan's interests and humanitarian mission in Gaza. Israel requested that Jordan halt aid transfers through the terminal after the shooting. The crossing represents the primary pathway for Palestinians to access the outside world from the occupied territory. Jordan maintains this route helps deliver critical assistance to Gaza residents during the ongoing crisis.
