Chanting slogans urging Hamas to intensify their strikes on Israel, thousands of Jordanians marched in the capital and around the country to protest against Israel's bombing campaign in Gaza. Over 6,000 people took part in the protest in downtown Amman arranged by opposition parties and tribal groups.
In Amman, several thousand people also gathered near the Israeli embassy, a common spot for anti-Israel protests at times of turmoil in the Palestinian territories. "No Jewish embassy on Arab land!" protesters chanted. Riot police blocked roads leading to the fortified embassy complex to keep back demonstrators who gathered around the nearby Kaloti mosque in the capital. - Reuters
