According to official reports, demonstrators set fire to the gate of the Israeli embassy in Amman and attempted to storm it to denounce the massacre committed by Israel by bombing the Baptist Hospital in central Gaza.
At the same time, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani denounced that such a brutal crime reflects Tel Aviv’s failure to adhere to the most basic international principles during the war.
Kanaani considered that the blood of the martyrs of this incident would increase the determination of the Palestinian people who resist and struggle to liberate their land from the occupiers.
For their part, the foreign ministries of Egypt, Qatar, Türkiye and Iraq called on the international community to assume its responsibility and deter Israel from committing further crimes against Palestinian civilians.
Furthermore, through a statement, the political office of the Ansar Allah movement in Yemen declared that the Israeli violations, supported by the United States and the West reveal to the whole world the level of its brutality. In this sense, the statement stressed that the aggression will not deter the Palestinian people and the resistance movements from continuing the struggle with more strength and solidity.
According to preliminary figures, at least 500 Palestinians were killed as a result of a deliberate Israeli bombardment of the Baptist hospital in Gaza, which served as a safe haven for people fleeing the aggression of the last few days.
