The border crossing between Jordan and the occupied West Bank – the King Hussein (Allenby) Bridge – has reopened to travelers but remains closed to commercial activity, the Israel Airports Authority said.
The closure came after a shooting on Sunday when a Jordanian truck driver killed three Israeli guards at the cargo area of the crossing operated by Israel.
Israeli media said the authority’s move followed orders by security officials.
