Palestine
Palestinian protesters flocked to the streets in the occupied West Bank, Nablus, and Ramallah on Wednesday, blaming Israel for a bombing of the Baptist hospital in war-torn Gaza that killed more than 500 people.
Many draped in Palestinian flags and some holding Hamas banners chanted slogans against Israel and its ally, the United States.
"Free, free Palestine," they chanted.
During the demonstration, a small group of Palestinians with covered faces blocked a road and set tyres ablaze near a group of Israeli soldiers. Some threw stones, while others cobbled together Molotov cocktails.
Tunisia
Pro-Palestinian protesters rallied in Tunisia on Wednesday outside the French Embassy, condemning Western support for Israel, which they blamed for a deadly strike on a Gaza hospital.
Some protesters were waving Palestinian flags while others demanded the ambassador be expelled, accusing France of being among the Western "allies of the Zionists", AFP journalists reported.
Turkey
Large crowds in Istanbul and the Turkish capital Ankara joined demonstrations on the anti-Israel massacre in Gaza hospital.
Dozens of people, including police officers, were injured in Istanbul, authorities said Wednesday.
Sixty-three people, including 43 police officers, were hurt during the protests outside the Israeli consulate in Istanbul late on Tuesday, the governor's office said.
Scuffles broke out between police and protesters when several demonstrators tried to overcome security barricades to enter the consulate building.
Police detained five people.
Egypt
Thousands of Egyptians are taking to the streets across several cities in Egypt on Wednesday in solidarity with the Gaza Strip, which has endured 12 days of Israeli bombardment.
The protesters are expressing their condemnation of the Israeli army's shelling of Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza, which led to the tragic deaths of at least 600 Palestinian civilians.
The protesters chanted slogans condemning the Israeli occupation and held banners with messages of support for their brothers and sisters in Palestine.
Earlier on Wednesday, volunteers from the Decent Life Foundation and the National Alliance for Civil Development Work (NACDW) staged a sit-in at the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing to protest the relocation of Palestinians into Sinai and Israel's refusal to allow safe passage for humanitarian aid to Gaza.
The sit-in came in response to President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi's call for protest during a press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz held at the Presidential Palace earlier on Wednesday.
Jordan
More than 5,000 Jordanians gathered outside the Israeli embassy in Amman.
Security forces blocked off roads leading to the embassy, but the demonstration looked set to swell amid a wave of anger in Jordan, home to many Palestinian refugees.
Despite strong denials from the Israeli occupation army, the Jordanian government has said Israel "bears responsibility for this grave incident".
Lebanon
Hundreds of protesters took to the streets near the US embassy in the capital, Beirut, and attempted to break through the security barriers.
But the Lebanese army fired tear gas to disperse the protesters in front of the Embassy.

Hundreds protested in the capital, Baghdad, brandishing Palestine flags and shouting pro-Palestinian chants condemning Israel’s massacre in the Gaza Strip.

Iran
Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the British and French embassies in Tehran in the early hours of Wednesday as regional anger grew over the deadly strike on Gaza's Baptist hospital.
"Death to France and England," protesters shouted, throwing eggs at the walls of the French embassy compound in the Iranian capital.
The gatherings ended peacefully at around 3:00 a.m. (23:30 GMT Tuesday).
Israel and the United States do not have embassies in Tehran since they do not have diplomatic relations with Iran.
Several thousand people also gathered in Palestine Square in central Tehran to voice their anger, according to an AFP photographer.
Libya
Several hundred people protested in Tripoli and other Libyan cities late Tuesday over the deadly strike on a Gaza hospital.
In Tripoli, hundreds of demonstrators of all ages, brandishing Palestinian flags and some covering their faces with Palestinian keffiyehs, crisscrossed the streets of the city centre before converging on Martyrs' Square.
They chanted slogans of support for the residents of Gaza and denounced the massacre by the "Zionist enemy".
"We give our blood and our souls for Gaza," they chanted in Tripoli and similarly in Misrata, a city 200 kilometres (120 miles) west of the capital.
Earlier, Abdulhamid Dbeibah, the prime minister of Libya's Tripoli-based internationally-recognised government, condemned the hospital strike, calling it a "despicable crime".
"Targeting medical and civilian facilities is a war crime. This aggression must stop," he said.
