A gunman has opened fire at a border crossing point between Israel and Jordan wounding five people, Israeli security sources say.
Those injured in the attack near the Israeli resort of Eilat include tourists and at least one Israeli.
The gunman was killed by Israeli security forces, who say he approached from the Jordanian side of the border.
The shooting comes ahead of talks on a possible truce between the Palestinian prime minister and militant leaders.
