Step by Step to erase Israel: Israeli ambassador, family and staff at Cairo airport, to leave Egypt

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The Israeli ambassador to Egypt, his family and embassy staff have arrived at Cairo airport apparently to fly out of the country, airport sources said on Saturday, after Egyptian protesters tried to storm the Israeli mission. They said the ambassador, along with his staff and family, travelled to the airport under heavy security, and that they were at the VIP section awaiting a flight out. Dozens of Israelis in Egypt were also arriving to the airport to leave the country, they said.  Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak called US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in the early hours of Saturday morning Tel Aviv time and urged Washington to help protect the Israeli embassy in Cairo. Egyptian protesters stormed the embassy on Friday, destroying a part of a barricade wall around the building in the process. Egyptian police used tear gas to disperse the crowd.  One person died due to asphyxiation after inhaling tear gas, and about 450 demonstrators were injured, medical personnel said. A protester tore down the Israeli flag at the embassy, to the cheers of thousands of demonstrators on the scene./129
