CAIRO-Dozens were injured early Monday when the Army and police forces tried to disperse protests outside the Israeli Embassy in Cairo, according to eyewitnesses. The troops used tear gas and fired in the air as hundreds of Egyptians gathered outside the embassy near the Cairo Nile demanding the eviction of the Israeli envoy, they added. Clashes with stones erupted when the protesters refused to leave. The area was shrouded in suffocating clouds due to the use of tear gas canisters. The Revolution's Alliance, a coalition of young people formed after Mubarak's ouster, criticised the use of violence against the protest, which it described as peaceful. Egypt was the first Arab country to sign a peace treaty with Israel in 1979.
