Three Israeli civilians have been killed in an attack at the Allenby Bridge crossing between Jordan and the occupied West Bank, Israeli officials said.
According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the assailant approached the area from the Jordanian side in a truck, then exited the vehicle and opened fire. Security forces "eliminated" the attacker, and the IDF is now inspecting the truck for possible explosives.
Jordan has responded by closing its side of the border and launching an investigation into the incident.
Israel's Magen David Adom rescue service said the three people who were killed were men in their 50s.
The Allenby Bridge crossing, also known as the King Hussein Bridge, is located approximately halfway between Amman and Jerusalem. It serves as a key border point between Jordan and the West Bank.
Jordan made peace with Israel in 1994 but is fiercely critical of its policies toward the Palestinians. The Allenby crossing is mainly used by Israelis, Palestinians and international tourists.
Jordan has a large Palestinian population and has seen mass protests against Israel over the war in Gaza.
The Israeli-occupied West Bank has seen a surge of violence since Hamas's October 7 attack out of Gaza triggered the war there.
Israel has launched near-daily military arrest raids into dense Palestinian residential areas, and there has also been a rise in settler violence and Palestinian attacks on Israelis.
Meanwhile, in Gaza, an Israeli air strike early on Sunday killed five people, including two women, two children and a senior official in the Civil Defence - first responders who operate under the Hamas-run government.
The Civil Defence said the strike targeted the home of its deputy director for north Gaza, Mohammed Morsi, in the urban Jabaliya refugee camp.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military. The army says it tries to avoid harming civilians and only targets militants.
Gaza's Health Ministry says more than 40,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the war erupted 11 months ago. It does not say how many were fighters and how many civilians.
Hamas-led militants killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, in the October 7 attack on Israel.
They abducted another 250, and are still holding around 100 of them after releasing most of the rest in exchange for Palestinians imprisoned by Israel during a weeklong ceasefire last November.
Around a third of the remaining hostages inside Gaza are believed to be dead.
The United States, Qatar and Egypt have spent months trying to broker a ceasefire and the return of the hostages, but the negotiations have repeatedly bogged down.
