Protesters rush toward Israeli border in Jordan and Lebanon
Two Lebanese were injured from Israeli shelling and Lebanese forces worked to stop the protesters from advancing farther.
Protesters in Jordan and Lebanon stormed toward their borders with Israel on Friday in response to the ongoing conflict in Israel and the Palestinian territories.
A viral video on social media showed hundreds of Jordanians running toward the King Hussein Bridge, which connects the Hashemite Kingdom to Israel. Jordanian police later said that “activity” in Shuna, which is close to the bridge, ended without issue. The participants cooperated with police and first responders gave them water due to the high temperature, according to a police statement.
