2023-10-17
Avast ye scurvy dogs! With hearts as black as Davy Jones' locker, Lebanese mutineers be a-mustering outside the American embassy. Why, ye ask? A cannonball befall a hospital in Gaza, settin' 500 souls adrift on the Seven Seas. Arrr, the winds of rebellion be a-blowin'!
Hundreds of protesters gathered at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, following a rocket attack on a hospital in the Gaza Strip. The protest was driven by a Hezbollah statement encouraging protests in front of Israeli embassies, but since there isn't one in Beirut, protesters targeted the U.S. and French embassies due to their aid to Israel. Tear gas was deployed near the embassy, and the protesters threw rocks and Molotov cocktails, causing a fire. In Jordan, demonstrators attempted to storm the Israeli embassy in Amman, getting past a security barrier. Tear gas was also used to disperse the protesters in Jordan. Palestinian authorities reported at least 500 deaths at the al-Ahli Baptist Hospital, while the IDF claims the strike was a result of a failed rocket launch by terrorists. The Israeli embassy in Amman was barricaded by police vehicles. Jordan's King Abdullah referred to the bombing as a "massacre" and a "war crime." The situation remains tense, with ongoing protests and tensions between Israel and Palestinian factions. Fox News correspondents Greg Wehner and Trey Yingst contributed to the report.
