Hundreds of Jordanians and Lebanese with Palestinian flags heading towards the borders of Israel after Day of Jihad called by Hamas

Videos are being published on social networks of hundreds of Jordanians and Lebanese with Palestinian flags heading towards the borders of Israel.

In Jordan, security forces are trying to disperse the crowd using tear gas, but with varying degrees of success. In Lebanon, people climb the border fence. ( Update: the fence video turned out to be old)
