Three Zionists were killed on Sunday in a shooting operation at the Allenby Bridge crossing, known on the Palestinian side as the Karameh Border Crossing, between Jordan and the occupied West Bank, Zionist media reported, citing medics.
Occupation Magen David Adom ambulance service indicated that it treated the three men at the scene before announcing their deaths.
The media confirmed that the shooter, a Jordanian truck driver named Maher Al-Jaz, who arrived at the crossing and opened fire in the area, initially resulting in three critical injuries before being shot dead by occupation forces.
Zionist media confirmed that the targeted individuals are security personnel in the crossing’s authority.
According to Zionist media, which called the incident a “very severe operation, resulting from a failure in security procedures at the Allenby Bridge,” the shooting was carried out with a handgun at close range. They added that the Zionist military is detaining truck drivers at the crossing.
The Allenby Bridge, known officially in Jordan as the King Hussein Bridge and also called the al-Karameh Bridge is a bridge that crosses the Jordan River near the city of Areeha in the occupied West Bank and the town of al-Karameh in Jordan.
The operation took place on occupied Palestinian territory, between two military checkpoints.
Zionist media later mentioned that the occupation forces suspect that the truck used in the shooting may have been laden with explosives.
Sappers have been dispatched to the scene to investigate the truck, the military said.
Zionist military had imposed a security cordon around the city.
On its part, the Jordanian Ministry of Interior confirmed that official agencies have commenced an investigation into the shooting that took place on the other side of the King Hussein Bridge.
A Jordanian official also told Reuters that authorities have closed the King Hussein Bridge while investigating the shooting on the other side.
Both Jordanian and Zionist authorities announced that the Allenby Bridge crossing has been closed until further notice.
The operation comes a week after three Zionist police officers were killed in a drive-by shooting operation in the southern West Bank governorate of al-Khalil, one kilometer from the Tarqumiya military checkpoint.
Acts of Resistance against the occupation have surged in occupied Palestinian territories amid the ongoing Israeli aggression on the besieged Gaza Strip, which has so far killed 40,939 Palestinians and injured 94,616 others, according to the Health Ministry in the enclave, and amid a major 10-day aggression on the West Bank that targeted the governorates of Tulkarm, Jenin, and Tubas, killing 39 Palestinians and injuring approximately 150 others.
In August, the occupation military said one settler was killed and another was injured after armed individuals opened fire on several vehicles near the Mehola settlement in the Jordan Valley region, northeastern West Bank.

We congratulate the qualitative operation at the Karama “Allenby” crossing and consider it a rightful response to the horrific massacres and the genocide in Gaza, as well as the zionist Nazi crimes in the West Bank and occupied Al-Quds.
The heroic and qualitative operation at the Karama crossing embodies the complex failure of the entire security, intelligence, and military apparatus of the zionist enemy and its supporters.
The message of this qualitative operation to the zionist public and their cowardly fascist leaders is that those who ignite the fire will be burned by it. The sacred flame of revenge within our people and the sons of our nation intensifies every day due to the escalating crimes and zionist genocide war against our people, land, and sanctities.
The heroic operation at the Karama crossing is a clear message, signed with blood, fire, and bullets, that the determination of our people and the free people of our nation in the arenas and fronts of confrontation has not weakened or diminished. The zionist soldiers and settlers will be surprised by the rising Arab and Islamic tide that will shatter the arrogance and pride of the zionist occupiers. No warships or aircraft carriers rushing to the region will provide you with protection, security, or stability.
We call on the masses of our people, our nation, and our revolutionary youth to ignite the flames of resistance and revolution against the zionist occupiers and their supporters, who provide them with means of life, and to aim their bullets at the chests of the zionist criminals and fascists who commit massacres and atrocities daily against our people in every part of our blessed land.

The Karama Crossing operation is a painful blow to zionist security and a fiery message from a Jordanian youth in response to the crimes of the occupation in Palestine.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine commends the heroic shooting operation that took place this morning near the “Allenby” Karama Crossing in the Jordan Valley, resulting in several deaths among the zionist settlers.
The Front affirms that this operation is a legitimate response to the ongoing crimes committed by the occupation against our people in Gaza, the West Bank, and inside the prisons.
The revelation that a Jordanian youth carried out this heroic operation at point-blank range is a shocking surprise for the zionists, a blow to their security theory, and an indicator of a new phase in the situation.
This courageous Jordanian youth represents the conscience of every Arab youth, and confirms that undertaking such bold and qualitative operations is a victory for Palestine and its martyrs, and a support for its ongoing resistance.
This operation proves the failure of the ill-fated peace agreements in subduing Arab youth or undermining their national duties towards the Palestinian cause.
The Front calls on Arab youth to follow the example of this heroic Jordanian and engage in the battle of honor and dignity to defend the Arab identity of Palestine and its oppressed people.
The only option for our people and our Arab nation is resistance, and the enemy should expect more surprises and qualitative operations that will continue everywhere in defense of the blood of the martyrs and the suffering of our people.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
We commend the heroic operation carried out this morning by one of Jordan’s heroes at the Karama crossing between Jordan and our occupied lands. This heroic act is the most genuine expression of the sentiments of the Jordanian people, as well as the Arab and Muslim nations, towards the brutal massacres committed by the enemy. Such heroic operations are the only response understood by the American administration, the partner of the criminal entity in the genocide war it wages against our people in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.
We extend our deepest respect and honor to the hero of the Karama crossing operation and ask Allah for mercy for his pure soul.

The heroic Karama Crossing operation is a response to the crimes of the occupation and a confirmation of our nation’s solidarity with our people and its brave resistance.
The heroic operation carried out by a hero from Jordan is a natural response to the holocaust that the Nazi zionist enemy is committing against our people in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, as well as its plans for displacement and the Judaization of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The Karama Crossing operation reaffirms the Arab peoples’ rejection of the occupation, its crimes, and its ambitions in Palestine and Jordan. It also confirms their strong support for our people and its brave resistance in defense of Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa.
As we honor the martyr, the brave hero who carried out the operation, we call on the Arab and Islamic peoples to rise up against the aggression and the war of genocide against our people in the Gaza Strip, and the vicious assault on our people in the proud West Bank.
Gaza, which defends the nation against the zionists and has been fighting a harsh battle for almost a year, calls on the nation and all the free people of the world to rise up against the occupation in support of Gaza, Al-Quds, and the West Bank, and in defense of the dignity of our nation and its national security.

The Karama Crossing Operation Holds Significant Meanings, “israel” Must Understand Them Well.
The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine issued a statement saying that the heroic operation carried out by an Arab Jordanian citizen at the Karama Crossing, on the border between Jordan and Palestine, carries significant meanings that the fascist occupying state must understand well and learn from.
The Democratic Front added that what happened at the Karama Crossing, which led to the killing of three occupation soldiers, confirms that the crimes and massacres committed by Netanyahu’s fascist government against our people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank must have major consequences, both in the Palestinian and Arab arenas (as well as internationally). The events at the Karama Crossing are just one of these responses and consequences, indicating that they are not at all isolated from the prevailing Arab popular sentiment, which views the fate of the Palestinian people as linked to that of the broader Arab populace.
Therefore, the killing of three enemy soldiers at the Karama Crossing is just one episode in a broader series of reactions, which will not cease until the occupation withdraws from the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and the legitimate national rights of our Palestinian people for freedom, independence, and return are recognized.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command praises the heroic Karama operation and emphasizes the necessity of continuing to confront and reject the occupation everywhere.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command praises the heroic shooting operation at the Karama Crossing in the Jordan Valley, carried out by a hero from the free sons of Jordan, the martyr Maher Al-Jazi, which resulted in the killing of three “israelis.”
This operation is a clear affirmation of the rejection of our Arab and Islamic peoples to the occupation and its crimes in Palestine and the region. There will be no security or peace with this occupier, no matter how long it takes. It will remain a foreign enemy rejected by the proud, free peoples.
The Front asserts that this shocking and qualitative operation for the occupation’s security apparatus comes during a new phase in confronting the occupier, who continues to commit horrific massacres in Gaza and maintains its ongoing aggression in the West Bank and Al-Quds. It requires our proud Arab peoples to act, rise in anger, refuse submission, respond to the occupier’s massacres, and confront it everywhere.
We, in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command, while blessing the operation and honoring its heroic martyr, call on Arab youth to march toward Palestine, cross the borders, confront the occupier, stand alongside our brave resistance, support and supply it, and besiege the occupier until it is expelled and defeated from our land and holy sites.
It is a revolution until the liberation of land and people.
