Raed Zeiter was a judge in the magistrates court in Amman. He was killed on Monday by Israeli soldiers. The Israeli army is claiming that Zeiter came over to the West Bank by bus at 9:30am. He tried to grab one of the soldier's guns and was able to get a hold of a four foot pole that the soldiers use to check for bombs under vehicles. The soldier's are claiming that they had no way to control Zeiter, and the decision was made to open fire. Palestine and Jordan are questioning the Israeli Army's account, but Israel is claiming that the account is based on eye witnesses of passengers on the bus at the scene. The Allenby Bridge, where the shooting occurred, was closed for several hours while the situation was sorted out. The bridge is controlled by both Jordan and Israel. A second separate incident occurred in the West Bank the same day. A Palestinian man was killed by Israeli Army fire.
