2 Jordanians killed, 1 Israeli wounded at Israeli embassy
AMMAN, Jordan — Two Jordanians were killed and an Israeli was wounded by gunfire Sunday in a residential building at the Israeli embassy compound in Jordan’s capital, the kingdom’s Public Security Directorate said.
Israeli media reported Monday that an Israeli security guard opened fire after a Jordanian worker attacked him with a screwdriver. The worker and the Jordanian owner of the building were wounded and later died, the reports said.
Jordan’s security agency confirmed that Jordanians had entered the apartment building for carpentry work.
The statement said the building was in the Israeli embassy compound, but the Israeli media reports indicated that the building was not part of the compound.
