It depends on what sort of jackal you are asking about.
For example, the golden jackal is Canis aureus while the side-striped jackal is Canis adustus.
They certainly get the young, but the not so aggressive side striped jackal doesn't typically target the young of larger animals(like gazelles).The black backed jackal, the most aggressive of the jackals occasionally even target adult gazelles(especially if it's by itself).
The fennec fox's main predators are the various African varieties of eagle owl. Other possible predators include caracals, jackals, striped hyenas, and the saluki, a greyhound-like domestic dog local to the area. However, fennec foxes are considered very difficult to capture, and reports of predators other than the eagle owl are considered to be anecdotal and questionable.

They usually catch their own prey however they do scavenge. For example, the Jackals in Africa act as the accomplice of the hyenas. If a kill has been made by a cheetah, the Jackal howls and warns the hyenas that there is an easy meal available. Once the hyenas scare away the cheetahs and eat their fill and leave, the jackal eats the remains of the carcass. Jackals sometimes scavenge of lions too.
