An operation conducted by a Jordanian truck driver on the Israeli-controlled Allenby crossing is a natural response to ongoing Israeli crimes.

Palestinian Resistance factions commented on a shooting operation that killed three Israeli security personnel at the Allenby Bridge crossing, also known as the Karameh Border Crossing, between Jordan and the occupied West Bank.

The person who executed the complex operation at the Israeli-controlled crossing is reportedly a Jordanian truck driver. 

Hamas

Hamas declared that the Karama crossing operation was a "response" to the "Israeli holocaust against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank." The Resistance movement also pointed out that the occupation is pursuing a campaign of displacement and Judaization of the al-Aqsa Mosque.

Hamas issued a statement in which it emphasized that the operation represents the broader Arab world's rejection of Israeli occupation and its aggressive ambitions in Palestine and Jordan. The Resistance movement also called for solidarity with Palestinians and their Resistance, underlining that it was in defense of occupied al-Quds and al-Aqsa.

Hamas further urged the global community to support Gaza and occupied al-Quds, stressing that Gaza had been enduring a prolonged and challenging struggle against the Israeli occupation forces. The group called upon all freedom-loving people worldwide to join in the defense of Palestinian dignity and national security.

PFLP

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) said the operation is a "legitimate response to the occupation's crimes against our people."

"This brave Jordanian youth embodies the conscience of every Arab youth and affirms that such distinctive operations are a victory for Palestine and its martyrs," the front added.

It also saw the event as evidence of the failure of "peace agreements" to tame Arab youth and undermine their national duty toward the Palestinian cause.

The Palestinian Popular Resistance Committees, a political movement that established the al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades, also released a statement, highlighting the effects of the operation. 

The movement said the operation was "a necessary response to the horrific massacres, the genocidal war in the Gaza Strip, and the Zionist-Nazi crimes in the occupied West Bank and al-Quds."

It saw the operation as a "manifestation of the compounded security, intelligence, and military failure of the entire security apparatus of the Zionist enemy and its supporters."

"The Zionist soldiers and settlers will be shocked by the Arab and Islamic wave that will shatter the arrogance and pride of the occupiers," the statement added. 

"Even the fleets and aircraft carriers rushing to the region will not provide them with protection, security, or stability," the movement said, in reference to American warships that arrived in the region to protect Israeli interests. 

PIJ

On its part, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) said the operation is "the truest expression of the sentiment of the Jordanian people, as well as the Arab and Islamic Ummahs."

"This heroic operation, along with others like it, is the only response that the American administration, a partner of the criminal entity in its genocidal war against our people in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, understands," the movement said.

"We extend our deepest respect and admiration to the hero of the Karama Crossing operation and pray for mercy on his pure soul," the statement concluded. 

On Sunday morning, a Jordanian truck driver was able to conduct a "very severe operation, resulting from a failure in security procedures at the Allenby Bridge," Israeli media said. 

The shooting was carried out with a handgun at close range, according to official reports.

It is worth noting that the Allenby Bridge, known officially in Jordan as the King Hussein Bridge and also called the al-Karameh Bridge is a bridge that crosses the Jordan River near the city of Areeha in the occupied West Bank and the town of al-Karameh in Jordan.

Al-Mujahideen movement

Additionally, the Palestinian Mujahideen movement affirmed that the operation highlights the significance of Palestine and al-Quds as central to the Resistance efforts of the entire Muslim Ummah. It also underscored the unity of "Palestinian blood with that of other freedom fighters in the defense of sacred sites."

The statement also criticized the Israeli and US governments, accusing them of committing "genocidal crimes" and asserting that the language of power and resistance was the only one understood by the Israeli regime and its American ally.

The movement urged all people of honor to follow in the footsteps of the martyr who carried out the operation and the martyrs who have ascended in defense of Palestine.
