After Egypt, Jordanians are planning a "million-man protest" to the "Israeli" embassy in Amman to take place on Thursday.

Under the title, "Round Two", "Yedioth Ahronoth" "Israeli" paper reported Monday that "Jordanian organizers have already announced that the protesters will try to break through the fortified embassy building and take down the "Israeli" flag."

A special "Face book" page created Saturday is calling on Jordanians to attend the Thursday protest. Thus far, some 1,000 people have confirmed their attendance.
 
Clarifying that "Israel" is aware of the protest and senior officials have discussed the
 matter with their Jordanian counterparts in recent days, the paper reported that "Jordan's security forces have boosted security around the embassy compound."

"Our interlocutors in Jordan are aware of the sensitivities," an "Israeli" official said Sunday hoping that the Zionist entity "will find a way to prevent violence against "Israeli" diplomats in Jordan."

"Israel's" Foreign Ministry has declared a heightened state of alert in embassies around the world following the storming of the embassy in Cairo over the weekend.
 
"It is feared that anti-"Israeli" forces will try to recreate Saturday's events," the paper mentioned.

According to "Yedioth Ahornoth", "Israel" and the Egyptian authorities discussed the possibility of rescuing the security guards stranded inside the embassy by helicopter, but the plan was scrapped when it became clear there was no way to reach the roof.
 
It was also revealed that the Egyptian commandos could only enter the building via the air-conditioning vents.
 

On Sunday, "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war Minister Ehud Barak met with the head of the security staff in the embassy, Yonatan.
 
"There were moments we thought we wouldn't make it out of there," Yonatan told Netanyahu and Barak.
 
"You prevented a great disaster. We were willing to move mountains to get you home but we needed your support from inside. Had you made a mistake, a catastrophe could have occurred," Netanyahu told Yonatan.
