The Israeli occupation has closed all border crossings with Jordan after an armed man killed three border guards at the King Hussein Bridge border crossing between the occupied West Bank and Jordan.

The Israeli occupation military said the attacker arrived at the crossing from the adjoining al-Karameh town in Jordan in a truck on Sunday morning and opened fire at the border guards.

The Jordanian interior ministry has identified the assailant which is Jordanian as Maher Ziab Hussein al-Jazi.
