Three Israelis were shot dead at the border crossing between the West Bank and Jordan on Sunday, Israeli officials said, in what appeared to be an attack linked to the 11-month-old war in Gaza.

The military said the gunman approached the Allenby Bridge crossing from the Jordanian side in a truck and opened fire at Israeli security forces, who killed the assailant in a shootout. It said the three people killed were Israeli civilians.

Israel’s Magen David Adom rescue service said the three people who were killed were men in their 50s.

Jordan is investigating the shooting, its state-run Petra News Agency reported. The Western-allied Arab country 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.
