Triple shooting on mostly quiet border with Jordan may be indicative of Gaza war spreading violence across region
Three Israeli security guards have been killed at a border crossing between the West Bank and Jordan when a Jordanian truck driver opened fire on them, in a fresh sign that the nearly year-old Gaza conflict is spreading violence across the region.
On the same day, an Israeli airstrike in northern Gaza killed a senior aid official and two women and two children from his family.
The West Bank border shooting took place on Sunday at the Allenby Bridge crossing over the River Jordan, also known as the King Hussein Bridge.
Jordan has a right to defend itself. The IDF doesn't own the West Bank and doesn't have a right to be there. The occupation has been declared illegal by the UN. So, rest in piss you won't be missed.
Precluding Jack Burton: In what universe does a truck driver take out three trained soldiers in a gun fight. The quality of those soldiers must be fairly low.
