Yohanan Shchori, 61, of Ma’ale Efraim, was one of three Israeli men killed in a terrorist shooting attack at the Allenby Bridge Crossing between Jordan and the West Bank on Sunday morning (September 8, 2024).
The attack was carried out by a Jordanian truck driver, who exited his vehicle and opened fire at the guards in the inspection area of the terminal. The guards returned fire at the terrorist, killing him. The three casualties of the attack were employees of the Israeli Airports Authority, who manage the crossing.
Paramedics arrived quickly and attended to the wounded, but Yohanan succumbed to his wounds at the scene.
Yohanan’s funeral is scheduled for Monday afternoon (9 September). He is survived by his wife, Tova, and six children.
