A number of Israelis staying on
Wednesday at the Radisson hotel were evacuated before the bombing
by Jordanian security forces, apparently due to a specific
security alert. They were escorted back to Israel by security
personnel.
The Foreign Ministry stated Wednesday that no Israeli tourists are
known to have been injured in the blasts. Representatives of
Israel's embassy in Amman were in contact with local authorities
to examine any report of injured Israelis, but none were received.
There are often a number of Israeli businessman and tourists in
Amman, including in the hotels hit Wednesday.
Israel's counter-terror headquarters on Wednesday recommended
Israeli citizens not travel in Jordan. Travel warnings regarding
Jordan were tightened a few months ago, but many Israelis still
visit the country. Many also visit other regions such as the
Jordanian Arava and the ancient city of Petra.
