JERUSALEM (CNN) -- At least one gunman Wednesday opened fire at the Rabin border crossing separating Jordan and Israel, wounding five tourists crossing into Jordan, Israeli police and medical sources said.

Israeli security guards shot and killed the gunman, who was heading into Israel from Jordan.

All the wounded were transferred to a hospital in Eilat in Israel.

According to medical sources, one of the wounded was in critical condition, another was wounded moderately and two others lightly. A condition was not immediately available on the fifth person.

Oh that's good, attack tourists from Ecuador who also want to visit Jordan. Yeah, the terrorists are really helping that part of the world.

1. The gunman probably heard that they...

were from SOUTH America and assumed that they were real American Rednecks.

2. Somehow, this has to be the IDF's fault.

No doubt, the "gunman" was just helpfully diging directions when his gun went off again and again and again. The murderous Israeli security guard should have stopped to properly ascertain the situation and help repair the malfunctioning firearm.

3. More peace delivered from the Peace Fence.

4. What is this?

How did the "Peace Fence" become the subject here at a boarder crossing into Jordan?

[Darranar]

5. I thought the "Peace Fence" was supposed to bring peace?

The point is that the "Peace Fence" is not bringing total peace and happiness to the region, even for Israelis. Better methods then walls and fences are needed for peace there.

Darranar!

7. Even Rome

wasn't built in a day. Patience. Sablanut.

8. Palestinians have been waiting more then

30 years....

9. Still haven't

made peace. Some on the Palestinian side are not happy with any compromise.
