CAIRO – Twenty-four people among demonstrators outside the Israel Embassy in Cairo were injured Monday when the Army and police forces tried to disperse protests early in the day, according to a medical source. All cases have been hospitalised, but they are not in critical conditions. 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, according to eyewitnesses. 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.
