In the first operation of its kind since the start of the Zionist-American aggression on Gaza on October 7, and the escalation of attacks in the occupied West Bank.
Three Zionist soldiers were killed in a shooting attack near the Allenby Crossing (King Hussein Bridge) between Jordan and the occupied West Bank.
The heroic operation at Karama crossing, carried out by a Jordanian youth, which resulted in the death of Zionist soldiers, caused great joy among the Jordanians, some of whom rushed to distribute sweets in celebration of this “qualitative” operation.
The Palestinian resistance factions blessed the operation. Calling on Arab youth to carry out more operations against the Zionist enemy entity.
The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, in its statement , considered that “the heroic operation carried out by “Nashmi” from Jordan is a natural response to the holocaust carried out by the Nazi Zionist enemy against the Palestinians in Gaza , the occupied West Bank , its plans to displace and Judaize Al-Aqsa M
osque.”
The movement stressed that Karama crossing operation is “an affirmation of the Arab peoples’ rejection of the occupation, its crimes and ambitions in Palestine , Jordan, and their strong stand with our people and their valiant resistance in defense of Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa.”
The movement mourned the perpetrator of the attack. It called on the peoples of the Arab and Islamic nation to “rise up to reject the aggression , war of annihilation against the Palestinians in Gaza Strip, and the frenzied attack against the Palestinians in the Arab West Bank.”
Hamas said: “Gaza, which defends the nation in the face of the Zionists, and is fighting a harsh battle for almost a year, mobilizes the nation and all the free people of the world to rise up against the occupation in support of Gaza, Al-Quds , the West Bank , in defense of our nation’s dignity and national security.”
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement blessed the “heroic operation”. It said in a press release: “This heroic act is the truest expressi
on of the pulse of the Jordanian people , the Arab and Muslim peoples towards the brutal massacres committed by the enemy.”
It emphasized that this operation and others like it are “the only response that the American administration, the criminal entity’s partner in the genocidal war it is waging against our people in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, understands” praising the attack perpetrator .
In turn, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine praised the operation, which it described as “heroic” in a statement. It emphasized that it comes as a “legitimate response to the ongoing crimes committed by the occupation entity against the people of Palestine in Gaza, the West Bank and inside prisons.”
It also emphasized that the fact that a Jordanian youth carried out this heroic operation from point zero “is a resounding surprise for the Zionists, a blow to their security theory, and an indication that the situation has entered a new phase.” The Popular Front praised the attacker and described
him as a “commando”.
The Popular Front said: “He expresses the conscience of every Arab youth, and confirms that carrying out such qualitative and courageous operations is a victory for Palestine , its martyrs, and support for its ongoing resistance,” the PFLP said.
It also emphasized that the operation proves the “failure of the ill-fated peace agreements” to normalize Arab youth, or to strike their nationalist duties towards the cause of Palestine. It called on Arab youth to “follow the example of the heroic Jordanian youth and join the battle of honor , dignity and defend the Arabism of Palestine and its oppressed people.”
It stressed that the only option for the Palestinians and the Arab nation is resistance. “The enemy must wait for more surprises and qualitative operations that will continue everywhere as a victory for the martyrs’ blood and the suffering of the Palestinian people,” it said.
In the same context, the Democratic Front said in a statement: “The operation at Karama crossing has major im
plications for the occupation entity. It added: “What happened at Karama crossing, which led to the death of three occupation soldiers, confirms that the crimes and massacres committed by the fascist Netanyahu government against our people in Gaza Strip and the West Bank must have major repercussions at the Palestinian and Arab levels.”
It stressed that the operation is part of a wide series of reactions, which will not stop until the occupation leaves the West Bank , Gaza Strip and recognizes the legitimate national rights of the Palestinian people to freedom, independence and return.
The Resistance Committees in Palestine also congratulated the qualitative Karama Crossing operation and considered it a due response to the Zionist enemy’s massacres, and “it embodies the security and intelligence failure of the enemy, a message to the Zionist public and their leaders that whoever ignites the fire will suffer from it and that the holy revenge increases every day, and confirmation that the frontlines have not
weakened and will surprise the enemy.” It called on the Palestinian people and the nation to ignite the fire of revolution in the enemy and those who support it.
The official spokesman for the Palestinian presidency, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, said: “The swords that Netanyahu talked about will not achieve security and stability. He stressed that the only way to achieve this is to recognize international legitimacy and the right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent state with East Al-Quds as its capital.
He added: The continued aggression against the Palestinian people from Rafah to Jenin, and the enemy’s genocidal crimes, with American support, will further inflame the region, and no regional or international efforts will succeed in containing this explosion that will burn the region.
Abu Rudeineh pointed out that the real goal of the enemy is to harmAl-Quds, its Islamic and Christian holy sites, and the national identity of this land, but they must realize that Al-Quds is the gateway to peace
, security and stability.
On Sunday, activists circulated on social media a video clip of Abu Obeida, the military spokesman for the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement.
Abu Obeida, the military spokesman for Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, called on Jordanians to escalate popular , mass action and resistance in a video released by Qassam Brigades earlier. He said that the people of Jordan are a nightmare that the enemy fears and is working to isolate and neutralize it from its cause.
Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is accused of genocide by the International Criminal Court, commented on the shooting at the Allenby Crossing, saying, “This is a difficult day.”
“This is a difficult day and we are surrounded by a deadly ideology and Hamas that aims to sow division within us, wage psychological warfare on the families of the kidnappers and exert internal pressure. We are committed to achieving the goals of the war,
eliminating Hamas, returning all the abductees and ensuring that Gaza no longer poses a threat.”
The head of the Jordan Valley Regional Council said: “The Allenby Crossing operation is not a minor incident and has severe repercussions.” He called for the application of Zionist sovereignty over the area, he said.
While the former minister of the Zionist war government, Benny Gantz, said: The operation that took place at Karama crossing, which led to the death of three Zionists, needs a thorough investigation.
Gantz wrote in a post on the X platform: Karameh Crossing operation is another sign of the need to strengthen the defense line on the eastern wall of “Israel” in the Jordan Valley.
Today, the enemy media revealed the identity of the perpetrator of the shooting attack at the Karama crossing at the Jordanian border, which led to the death of three Zionists. Saying: Maher al-Jazi (39 years old), a truck driver with Jordanian citizenship, from the southern governorate of Ma’an, is the perpetrator of the s
hooting attack at Karama crossing.
The Zionist enemy radio announced that the operation was carried out from zero distance, after which the occupation army carried out a sweep of the place, and closed Karama crossing in both directions, as well as the entrances to the city of Jericho as a result. He confirmed that the shooter got out of the truck at Allenby Bridge (Al-Karama) and opened fire at the security personnel of the crossing.
Zionist security personnel detained all Arab workers at the crossing for interrogation. The enemy army radio confirmed that two drivers who were at the crossing at the time of the attack were arrested on suspicion of being connected to the incident.
The Zionist enemy also closed the crossings of the city of Jericho and set up checkpoints in it, which is the second stop for travelers after they enter the crossing and their buses to their cities.
It is noteworthy that the past months witnessed infiltration attempts from the Jordanian side towards the occupying entity. Last Apri
l, the enemy army radio confirmed that a gunman came from Jordanian territory and fired at an army patrol without injuries, without crossing the border fence.
In 2010, the car of the Zionist ambassador and his diplomatic staff was targeted in Adasiya area near the King Hussein Bridge with an explosive device that was near the Zionist car when it exploded.
In 1990, Jordanian citizen Sultan al-Ajlouni stormed a Zionist post after crossing the Jordanian border and opened fire, killing an Israeli soldier.
The crossing is the only crossing point for Palestinians in the West Bank, including occupied Al-Quds, to Jordan, and thus to the rest of the world, but the Zionist entity controls the side that should be under Palestinian control.
The crossing is mainly used for the transportation of goods, and trucks pass through it from Jordan to Jordan Valley, the occupied West Bank and the Zionist entity, and is located near the villages of the Jordan Valley and the city of Jericho.
The crossing is known by three names
: Al-Karama on the Palestinian side, King Hussein Bridge on the Jordanian side, and Allenby on the Zionist side.
Since the start of the war on Gaza last October, demonstrations have been ongoing in Jordan, where protesters have raised slogans demanding the suspension of Jordanian agreements with the Zionist entity, and Jordanian officials had previously threatened – about three months after the war – to review relations with the Zionist entity.
Jordan has several agreements with the Zionist entity, most notably: The peace treaty, the gas agreement, the energy-for-water agreement (which Jordan announced it would not finalize due to the war on Gaza), and the Qualified Industrial Zones Agreement.
