The Israel Airports Authority has announced the closure of the Allenby Crossing between the West Bank and Jordan until further notice, News.Az reports, citing Israeli media.
The decision comes in the aftermath of an attack yesterday that claimed the lives of two Israeli soldiers.
The perpetrator of the shooting and stabbing attack was a Jordanian who had been driving a humanitarian aid truck heading from Jordan to the Gaza Strip.
The northern Jordan River Crossing has also been closed until further notice. The Israel-Jordan Rabin Crossing near Eilat is only open to workers, while the Taba Crossing with Egypt is operating normally, according to the IAA statement.
