Jordanian security forces are working to disperse a crowd of thousands of protesters trying to storm the Israeli embassy in Amman, Jordan, in protest of the war in Gaza.
Israel reportedly evacuated the embassy several days ago.
Demonstrators had already attempted to break into the embassy last night and were dispersed by the Jordanian police.
Mass rallies took place in the West Bank, Jordan and Lebanon last night in the wake of a hospital blast in Gaza that Hamas claims resulted from an Israeli airstrike. Israel says a misfired Gazan rocket caused the blast.
