Two Jordanians have been killed and
an Israeli wounded in a shooting incident at the Israeli embassy in
Jordan's capital Amman, according to a local security source.
Security forces have sealed off the embassy and Israeli authorities have evacuated staff. The shooting happened in a residential building used by the Israeli embassy, Jordanian police say.
The police said investigations were still in their "initial phases". Israeli authorities are not commenting on the incident and have imposed reporting restrictions.
The heavily protected embassy is located in the Rabiyeh neighbourhood, an affluent part of Amman.
