A number of angry protesters attempted to storm the walled compound of the Israeli embassy in Jordan and set fire to a nearby location, in protest against the bombing of the Baptist Hospital in Gaza.

Jordanian forces are securing the embassy compound, and social media users circulated a video of the attempted storming of the embassy.

Demonstrations also erupted in Ramallah, Jenin, and several other Palestinian cities, following the attack by the occupying entity on the Baptist Hospital in Gaza. The protesters chanted slogans condemning the Israeli bombing, demanding immediate accountability.

Israeli planes targeted the Baptist Hospital, which shelters thousands of patients and displaced individuals, without prior warning, resulting in the deaths of 800 martyrs so far and hundreds of injuries.
