Protest erupts outside Israeli Embassy in Jordan over Yahya Sinwar's killing

On October 17, protesters gathered near the Israeli embassy in Amman, Jordan, to show solidarity with Palestinians following the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, confirmed by Israeli Defense Forces. The protest was fueled by anger over Sinwar's killing, who was regarded as a key figure behind the October 7 attack that escalated the Gaza war. Demonstrators chanted slogans in support of Hamas, with some waving Jordanian and Palestinian flags. Protester Abdel Rahim Sorour emphasized Hamas' resilience, asserting that the organization would remain strong regardless of Sinwar's death. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to the incident by declaring that the conflict with Hamas would persist, highlighting the ongoing tensions and complexities surrounding the situation. Sinwar's death is viewed as a significant milestone in Israel's campaign against Hamas.
