Israel closed the only gate between the West Bank and Jordan on Friday, a day after a driver who brought humanitarian aid from Jordan to Gaza, opened fire and killed Israeli military personnel there.

The Israel Airports Authority, which runs the Alnaby Bridge crossing, has announced that it will be closed until further notice.

The crossings between Israel and Jordan were also influenced, with the crossing of the Jordan River in the north and the crossing of the rabbin in the south is open to workers only.

No group immediately demanded the responsibility for the attack on the Allenby Bridge, a major road for trade between Jordan and Israel and the only gateway to more than 3 million Palestinians in the West Bank to reach Jordan and the broader world.
