Some reports in Jordan described the incident as a domestic dispute, but Israeli reports indicated Jerusalem suspected the attack was nationalistically motivated, against the background of rising tensions over the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

The father of Jawawdeh described his son as a “martyr for Allah,” in an interview with Jordanian news site al-Ghad.

The attack comes amid mounting tensions between Israel and Jordan over the Temple Mount following the shooting dead of two Israeli police officers by three Arab Israelis who emerged from the holy site using guns they had smuggled in.

The killing of the two officers precipitated a sharp rise in violence in the region.

Jerusalem says guard who killed assailant and second man opened fire in self-defense

Jordan won’t let Israeli Embassy guard, who shot 2 after being stabbed, leave the country

Amman insisting it wants to investigate security officer, but Jerusalem says he is protected from arrest and investigation by Vienna Convention

The incident, coming amid already sky-high tensions between Jerusalem and Amman over the Temple Mount, has sparked a diplomatic showdown between the neighboring allies.

The Israeli security guard, who was injured during the attack, enjoys diplomatic immunity according to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and is safe from arrest and investigation, Israel’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement Monday morning.

However, Jordanian authorities are reportedly preventing the man from leaving, and reportedly want to question him in their investigation into the matter. The family of the first Jordanian victim, a 17-year-old worker, is reportedly demanding the Israeli security guard be put on trial and sentenced to death. “We are confident that the court will impose the most serious punishment,” Israel’s Army Radio quoted an unnamed relative of the youth declaring on Monday morning.

The Israeli security guard and his colleagues are currently being held in the Israeli Embassy compound, according to Israel’s Channel 2 news.

In light of the diplomatic crisis, Israel’s security cabinet was set to meet on Monday afternoon to discuss the matter. Overnight, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke on the phone with the security officers and with Israel’s ambassador to Jordan, Einat Schlein.

“The Foreign Ministry and the security forces are working through various channels with the Jordanian government,” the statement read.

The incident occurred late Sunday afternoon, but was kept under gag order by the Israeli military censor for some 11 hours until Monday morning, preventing Israeli media from reporting it even as it made headlines around the world.

The Israeli security guard, whose name was still subject to a gag order, had some furniture removed at his apartment adjacent to the Israeli Embassy in the residential Rabiyeh neighborhood of Amman, when the Jordanian worker stabbed him in the back with a screwdriver.

“The security officers responded on the self-defense. He was lightly injured,” the Foreign Ministry statement read. “The worker was killed. During the incited, the owners [of the apartment, who was present] was injured and later died from his wounds.”

According to a security source who spoke to AFP, the Jordanian worker was 17-year-old Mohammed Jawawdeh. He succumbed to his injuries at the scene, the source said. The second Jordanian victim, Bashar Hamarneh, a doctor who was in the residential quarter of the embassy at the time of the incident… died of his injuries after midnight in hospital,” according to the source.

Additional details about the incident were also still under a gag order. SOURCE

ARE YOU COMPLETELY PREPARED & PROTECTED?  

The Bible tells us that every human has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God which is  is a heart-penetrating truth. He has provided a way to cleanse us of our sins since we can never be “good enough” to cleanse ourselves. That avenue to God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness (the cleansing of our sins) is through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth Who is equally God.

 Not one of us are guaranteed a “tomorrow”. Has your time run out? Will you continue to ignore the promptings of God the Holy Spirit or have you awakened to the essential need for God, risking eternal damnation?

​​God the Holy Father, God the Holy Son and God the Holy Spirit are One God, the true, living, uncreated God Who is ever-present, all knowing, all powerful and all loving. He desires that every single person be forgiven, saved and to live eternally with Him. He is our only real protection and His love for you is unchanging. Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, the true Messiah, today.

 You can’t take your salvation for a test drive. You’re all-in or not.

 Admit to Him that you are a sinner in need of forgiveness, that you are truly sorry for your sins.  Acknowledge that He died for your sins, rose from the dead and lives forevermore. Invite Him into your life and to help you to turn from sin. Rejoice! You just became a Christian! Now trust in Him and get to know Him through the Bible which tells us everything we need to know and through prayer/talking to Him. He eagerly desires relationship with you.

      You are a foul religious bully! Threatening people if they don’t subscribe to your particular brand of religious delusion.

      You are a grown man, and you should be ashamed of yourself.
