Overview

• Passenger service restarts Friday morning, the Israel Airports Authority said.
• The closure followed a shooting in which an aid-truck driver from Jordan killed two Israeli soldiers at the crossing.
• The terminal briefly reopened Monday before an indefinite shutdown Tuesday, leaving thousands of Palestinians stranded on the Jordanian side.
• The United Nations warns that the ongoing truck ban will significantly hinder deliveries of food, tents and other supplies to Gaza.
• The Airports Authority attributed the limits to a political directive, as Israeli leaders signal responses to recent foreign recognition of a Palestinian state and some coalition allies call for West Bank annexation.
