Israel-Hamas War: What happened on day 172?
IDF official: 'We are at war in the North, not just with Hezbollah' • Netanyahu agrees to resend Israeli delegation to Washington
Jordanian anti-riot police use batons to push back protesters near Israeli embassy
"Oh Hamas...All of Jordan's people are behind you," the protesters chanted.
Jordanian anti-riot police beat and arrested dozens of demonstrators trying to march towards the heavily guarded Israeli embassy in the capital Amman, witnesses and residents said on Wednesday.
More than two thousand protesters gathered late on Tuesday, the third day of demonstrations which have been marred with clashes, after baton wielding police pushed back hundreds of angry crowds seeking to storm the embassy compound in the affluent Rabae district of Amman.
The Israeli embassy, where protesters gather daily, has long been a flashpoint of anti-Israel protests at times of escalation of violence between Palestinians and Israel.
