Follow-up to this story from yesterday.
[GEOTV] Jordan has closed the King Hussein bridge crossing with the occupied West Bank as it investigates a shooting incident in which three Israelis were killed, a Jordanian official told Reuters.

The incident occurred in a commercial cargo area under Israeli control where Jordanian trucks offload cargo entering the occupied West Bank from the kingdom.

Fireworks in Amman as thousands celebrate Allenby Bridge Crossing terror shooting

[IsraelTimes] Thousands of people are celebrating on the streets of Amman, after a Jordanian truck driver killed three Israelis at the Allenby Bridge Crossing between Jordan and the West Bank this morning, claiming the gunman had avenged the deaths of thousands of Paleostinians in the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Videos posted to social media show fireworks being set off during the demonstration.

People wave Jordanian flags, and there are reports of Israeli flags being burned at the event.

Jordan has said it is investigating this morning’s terror attack, but has not yet condemned the shooting.

Israel and Jordan signed a peace treaty in 1994 and have close security ties. Dozens of trucks cross daily from Jordan, with goods from Jordan and the Gulf that supply both the West Bank and Israeli markets.
