Israel to Reopen West Bank Crossing for Passengers
Israel is opening the Allenby Crossing, also called the Karama Crossing, which links the West Bank and Jordan.
However, it's only for people to pass through.
This crossing was closed after a shooting incident.
Trucks with goods will not be allowed to pass, so this may cause some problems.
The Israeli authorities made this decision after an event and some political discussions.
Israel will reopen the Allenby Crossing to passenger traffic only.
The crossing connects the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Jordan.
Trucks carrying commercial goods and aid to Gaza are excluded.
The decision follows a closure after an incident.
The reopening follows a directive from Israeli authorities.
