The Facts

  • On Sunday morning, three Israeli civilian security guards were killed when a lone gunman opened fire in a commercial cargo area under Israeli control at the King Hussein (Allenby) bridge border crossing between the occupied West Bank and Jordan.

  • The IDF reported that the shooter was a 39-year-old truck driver from Jordan. The gunman was shot dead by security personnel at the scene and his truck was searched for explosives.


The Spin

Israel is surrounded by a murderous ideology led by Iran's axis of evil, and served as an inspiration for the despicable terrorist who murdered three Israeli citizens in cold blood on the Allenby Bridge. The Israeli government sends its condolences to families of the dead.

The Jordanian hero's brave act on Sunday perfectly captures the opinions of the Jordanian people and other Arab nations regarding the Israeli-perpetrated genocide of the Palestinian population in Gaza. The war in Gaza must end now.
