STORYLINE:
Authorities in Jordan say they’ve shot and killed a man who opened fire on a police patrol near the Israeli Embassy, an attack that saw three police officers hurt in the incident.

The shooting happened early Sunday in the Rabieh neighborhood of Amman, the Jordanian capital.

Jordan’s Public Security Directorate said in a statement that a man was shooting in the area, which saw police pursue the shooter.

"He was chased and surrounded, so he started firing gunshots at the security force, which in turn applied the rules of engagement, which resulted in the killing of the perpetrator," the statement said.

It did not identify the shooter.

Israel and Jordan reached a peace deal in 1994.

Tensions have been high between the two countries amid the Israel-Hamas war that’s decimated the Gaza Strip and the later Israeli ground offensive in Lebanon.
