A man has been shot dead after opening fire on security forces near the Israeli embassy amid rising anti-Zionist sentiments in Jordan.

A security source and state media said a gunman fired at a police patrol in the Rabiah neighborhood near the Israeli embassy in Amman on Sunday.

Police had earlier cordoned off the area near the heavily fortified embassy after shots were heard, ordering residents to stay in their homes as security forces searched for the shooter(s), the security source was quoted as saying by media.
