Hundreds attended the funeral of the young Jordanian, Monday afternoon, who was shot and killed by an Israeli security guard at the Israeli embassy in Amman.

The funeral of 16-year-old Mohammed Al Jawawdeh took place in Um Alheeral, south Amman, and lead to demonstrators demanding the Jordanian government to close the Israeli embassy in Amman and scrap an unpopular peace treaty

Dozens of demonstrators chanted "No to an Israeli embassy or ambassador on Jordanian land" and called for a jihad (holy struggle) as they carried the coffin of Mohammad Jawawdah, 16, to his burial place in a cemetery in the capital, Reuters reported.

Al Jawawda and Dr. Bashar Hamarneh were shot dead on Sunday by the Israeli guard, following an argument inside a residential building used by the Israeli embassy.

The Israeli government alleges that one of the Jordanian men attacked the guard with a screwdriver, and that he subsequently fired his weapon in self defence.

A government source has confirmed on Tuesday that Jordan has allowed the Israeli guard who killed two Jordanians on Sunday to return to Israel after interrogating him and “coming to an agreement with the Israeli government on the ongoing Al Aqsa crisis in Jerusalem.”
