Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - The Public Security Department (PSD), said Monday evening that the investigation launched into a shooting incident inside the Israeli embassy compound in Amman on Sunday was completed.

A statement released by the PSD said the investigation was completed after collecting information from the crime scene and listening to a number of eyewitnesses, who were present at the scene.

A PSD special investigation team has found that there was a prior agreement between people working in carpentry to supply bedroom furniture for an apartment rented by an Israeli embassy employee, the statement indicated, adding that two people came to furnish the bedroom of the Israeli employee's apartment inside the compound.

During the process, a dispute has erupted between one of the carpenters, who was the furniture shop owner's son, and the Israeli diplomat. The two had a verbal argument as the Israeli diplomat claimed that there was a delay in completing the agreed upon work on time.

The altercation escalated to physical confrontation where the carpenter attacked and injured the Israeli diplomat who in turn shot the carpenter and the apartment's owner, who and the building's doorman were present at the scene, the statement added, citing the testimony given by the other person who came with the carpenter.

The team also listened to the doorman's testimony, who corroborated the story as mentioned in the investigation.

Then case has been referred to the competent prosecutor for further legal action.
