In other news, Al-Jazeera’s Amman correspondent, Yasser Abou Hlaleh, was hit by police during clashes in the Jordanian capital Friday between riot police and a large crowd of demonstrators who were prevented from marching on the Israeli embassy to protest against Israel’s offensive against the Gaza Strip.

The Al-Jazeera cameraman’s camera and mobile phone were confiscated while the cameraman himself was injured and had to be hospitalised.
