[Video Thread] In response to the Israeli attack on the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza earlier today, huge, spontaneous demonstrations have broken out across the Middle East tonight.

Let's go through them:

2) In Jordan 🇯🇴, protestors have surrounded the Israeli Embassy and set it on fire.

3) A similar situation might be brewing in Ankara, Turkey 🇹🇷, where enraged crowds have besieged the Israeli Embassy.

Iraqis are out again in full force, showing their solidarity with Palestine. Footage from central Baghdad 🇮🇶.
