Hundreds demand expulsion of Israeli ambassador at embassy

Hundreds of Egyptians protested Friday in front of the Israeli Embassy in Cairo to demand the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador, following the killing of six military and security personnel by Israeli military forces at the Egypt-Israel border eight days ago.

The protesters chanted: "The people want retribution for the Sinai martyrs" and "The masses' primary demand is the expulsion of the ambassador."

Israeli forces crossed the Egyptian border on 18 August while pursuing militants who had killed eight Israelis near the southern town of Eilat.

Israel later said the group that carried out the Eilat attack included three Egyptians.
