Ahmad el-Shahat, a young Egyptian man from Sharqiya, climbed 14 floors till he reached the balcony of the Zionist embassy in Giza, took down the Israeli flag and replaced it with Egypt’s. The same happened to the flag on top of the Alexandria consulate, where protesters replaced the Israeli flag with Palestine’s. Demonstrations broke out in Fayoum, Beheira, Ismailia, Suez, Mansoura, Luxor and elsewhere demanding the expulsion of the Zionist diplomats and cutting all relations with the apartheid regime. Some even managed to reach the residence of the Israeli ambassador in Maadi, which is a fortress.
We will never forget Palestine. The road to Jerusalem passes through the Arab capitals.

Israeli flag replaced at embassy in Cairo

CAIRO, (PIC)-- An Egyptian young man managed to take down the Israeli flag waving on the Israeli embassy in Cairo and replace it with an Egyptian flag as protests that followed the killing of five Egyptian security troops continue.

The man, known as Ahmed al-Shahat, managed to climb a neighboring building of 23 storeys. When the flag was brought to the ground it was burned.

Thousands continue to sit in outside of the embassy for the third day after Israeli forces shot dead five Egyptian soldiers including an officer on Thursday in the Sinai peninsula while in pursuit of resistance fighters.

Our correspondent said that University Bridge, which leads to the embassy, has been blockaded as the number of protesters has risen to 10,000.

The Egyptian government declared Sunday that an apology from Israel would not be commensurate with the gravity of the lethal attack.

Meanwhile, international monitoring forces operating in the Sinai peninsula have issued a report accusing Israel of two violations during the incident that killed the soldiers, Egypt’s Middle East News Agency has reported. The violations were crossing borders and firing at Egyptian targets.

Separately, Israeli war minister Ehud Barak said that he regretted the incident and offered to study the circumstances surrounding it with the Egyptian army.
