On 23 July 2017, an incident involved the deputy director of security of the Israeli embassy in Amman, Jordan who shot and killed two Jordanians after being attacked by one of them in an apartment belonging to the embassy.
According to the Israeli Foreign ministry, the official was attacked with a screwdriver, and then shot and killed the attacker. A Jordanian landlord was also inadvertently shot by the official and later pronounced dead. The attacker was a carpenter who came to install furniture at an apartment rented by the embassy either inside or near the Israeli embassy compound.[a]
According to Jordan's Public Security Directorate its investigation concluded that the cause of the initial altercation was a dispute over late delivery of furniture. Israel denies this.
