After the Jordanian media released the name of the Israeli Embassy security agent who shot and killed two people, his family has been concerned for his safety.

The agent, Ziv Moiyal, is back in Israel and while Israel did not release his name for security reasons, the Jordanian media was not as accommodating, releasing his photo as well.

It is reported that he and his family have left their home in southern Israel and have moved in with relatives elsewhere.

Jordan demanded to question the agent but Israel would not him over to endure such an ordeal. Jordan is demanding a probe and Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit has been instructed to oversee a probe into the matter. In the interim, Jordan is not permitting the ambassador and his staff to return.
