IOA bars 26 Palestinians from traveling at Allenby crossing

Saturday 10-February-2018

The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) prevented last week 26 Palestinian passengers from traveling through Allenby (King Hussein) border crossing with Jordan.

According to the Palestinian Authority (PA) police on Saturday the passengers were denied travel by the Israeli side for unexplained security reasons.

However over 31000 Palestinian and foreign passengers were able to travel through the crossing during the week.

Allenby crossing also known as al-Karama is a bridge that spans the Jordan River and connects the West Bank with Jordan.

The bridge is the sole designated exit and entry point for West Bank Palestinians traveling in and out of the Israeli occupied territories.
