Man Killed After Shooting at Police in Amman

A man was shot dead after opening fire on a police patrol near the Israeli Embassy in Amman's Rabiah neighborhood, Jordan, on November 24, 2024, resulting in injuries to three police officers. The Jordanian Public Security Directorate reported that the perpetrator was pursued and killed after he fired at the security forces. The area was cordoned off by police, and residents were advised to stay indoors while security personnel conducted searches. The neighborhood has been a site of frequent protests against Israel, reflecting high anti-Israel sentiment in the region due to the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. Many Jordanians, of Palestinian origin, view the 1994 peace treaty with Israel unfavorably. Investigations into the shooting are ongoing.
