Several Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Iraq issued statements condemning Israel and accusing its military of bombing the hospital.
People gather in Tahrir Square to protest the Gaza hospital blast in Baghdad, Iraq, on October 17.
One group made an attempt to “reach it,” but a security source told CNN that security forces dealt with them and pushed them away.
Jordanian security forces also used tear gas to disperse the protesters, according to two activists and videos posted to social media.
TAP said “mass protests were held on Tuesday night,” in several areas “in solidarity with the Palestinian people” and against Israeli bombardment of Gaza.
