Palestinian supporters demonstrated in the streets against the Wednesday hospital attack in Gaza.
In response to pro-Palestine demonstrations on Wednesday against the backdrop of the battle between Israel and Hamas, the Israeli Foreign Affairs Ministry withdrew the staff of its embassies in Rabat and Cairo.
Following the bombing of the Al-Ahli Hospital in the Gaza Strip, which resulted in at least 471 deaths and 314 injuries, protests were organised in front of Israeli embassies in the capital cities of Egypt and Morocco as well as other cities throughout the world.
Following the incident, protests in favour of Palestine were also held in Tunisia, Libya, Lebanon, Germany, Iraq, Turkey, Jordan, Iran, Syria, Kuwait, and other nations. Israeli authorities have consequently tightened security in diplomatic missions around the world.

Thousands of people demonstrated in Tunis, the capital of Tunisia, against Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip. They charged Israel with killing several hundred people by launching missiles against the hospital in Gaza, according to AFP.
On October 17, the attack also sparked significant protests in Misrata and all other significant Libyan cities. Arab leaders were accused of doing nothing to help the Palestinians by local protesters.

Participants in the rally demanded that ambassadors from Western nations that purportedly support Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people be expelled. The protesters demanded that oil and gas from Libya not be sent to Europe via the Greenstream pipeline.
The hospital was struck by a rocket fired by a Palestinian militant organisation that deviated from its intended route, according to the Israeli military and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
