Demonstrations will also take place on Friday, as Hamas leaders called for a day of support throughout the Arab world.
“In an abundance of caution, the embassy is closed to the public for routine services on Thursday, October 12 and Friday, October 13,” the embassy said in a statement, adding that it is not aware of specific or credible threat at this time.
