(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Dozens of Egyptians demonstrated on the first day of Eid outside the Israeli embassy in Cairo to protest the flying of the Israeli flag on the embassy after it was removed by a protester a few days ago.
The demonstrators reiterated their demands to expel the Israeli ambassador, close the embassy and retaliate to the killing of Egyptian soldiers by the IOF.
They said that the fact that it was Eid day did not stop them from demonstrating for the lives of the soldiers who were killed and chanted to this effect. They chanted against the Israeli occupation and in support of Palestinians.
The demonstration took place under heavy presence of Egyptian security forces who closed the protest square outside the embassy and prevented demonstrators from entering it.
Children on a day out to visit the zoo passed on the Jame’a Bridge opposite the embassy saw the demonstrators and started chanting with the demonstrators: “the flag must come down”, “down down Israel” and “we will not leave, he should leave.”
