Before the shooting, Jordanians had entered the apartment building for carpentry work, the statement said.
It did not say what triggered the shooting.
Three people were initially wounded in the incident, the security agency said. Two Jordanians later died, according to the agency and the news site Hala Akhbar, linked to the Jordanian military.
One of the Jordanians killed was a physician at the scene, the security agency said.
The Israeli was in “unstable” condition, the new site said.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry had no comment.
The incident comes at a time of mounting tensions between Israel and the Muslim world over metal detectors Israel installed at a Jerusalem shrine revered by Muslims and Jews.
Jordan is the Muslim custodian of the site. On Friday, thousands of Jordanians staged an anti-Israeli protest in Amman.
The Israeli censor has not allowed this story yet to surface in the media. The Jerusalem Post, Haaretz, etc have no word whatsoever on this attack.
The new US State Department report clearly blames Israel for Arab terrorism, citing a “lack of hope in achieving Palestinian statehood, Israeli settlement construction in the West Bank, settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank, the perception that the Israeli government was changing the status quo on the Haram Al Sharif/Temple Mount, and IDF tactics that the Palestinians considered overly aggressive.”
Dump Tillerson.
Dump Haley
Dump TRump.
