Protests Erupt Worldwide Following Deadly Hospital Bombing in Gaza
Hundreds of Lebanese protesters, some waving Palestinian flags, gathered outside the US embassy in Beirut to show support for the Jewish state in its conflict with Hamas. Police used tear gas to disperse the demonstrators, and one protester scaled a barbed-wire fence to plant a Palestinian flag on the embassy's flagpole. Similar protests also took place at the French embassy. The demonstrations came after a deadly explosion at a Gaza City hospital, with Hezbollah calling for "a day of unprecedented anger" in Beirut. President Biden postponed his planned visit to Jordan in light of the Gaza City attack.
