Jordanian Truck Driver Carries Out Deadly Attack‌ at Allenby Crossing

On Sunday, ⁤a Jordanian truck driver, armed with a pistol, carried out a fatal attack‍ at⁢ the Allenby crossing on the Israeli side of the Jordanian border.

The attack resulted in the deaths of three Israelis, who were⁢ identified as⁤ crossing security personnel. According to reports,‌ the victims were shot as soon as they reached the crossing point inspection area.

The suspect, Maher Hussein Dhiyab al-Jazi, was killed instantly by Israeli soldiers at the scene. Al-Jazi, born on April ‍28,⁢ 1985, hailed from Jordan’s Ma’an Governorate and belonged to the Al-Huwaytat tribe of Aadhaar.

Further investigation revealed that al-Jazi was a descendant of the “al-Zazi” family, which has a notable history.⁣ The family is known for producing⁤ prominent figures, including Sheikh ​Harun al-Zazi al-Huwaiti,⁣ who commanded the ‍Children of the Al-Huwaytat Volunteer Company in the ‌1948 Battle ​of al-Qastal in Jerusalem.

Other notable members of the al-Zazi family include Major General ‍Mashhoor Al-Jazi,‌ who⁤ played a key role in the ⁢1968 war and is⁣ a grandson of Sheikh Harun.

The⁣ attack at the Allenby crossing has raised concerns about ⁤the security situation in the ⁢region and the potential for future incidents.
