Yitzhak Harush, 68, of Jerusalem, an officer in Reserve Unit 309 of the Civil Administration, and Sgt. Oren Hershko, 20, of Tel Mond, a liaison NCO for foreign forces in Tevel Brigade, were killed.

According to reports, the terrorist was a Jordanian truck driver transporting aid headed for Gaza. He arrived at the Allenby crossing, opened fire, and was neutralized on the spot. MDA paramedics pronounced Yitzhak and Oren dead.
