CAIRO: Egyptian security forces, who are ordered to guard the Israeli ambassador's house in Maadi, complied with the requests of dozens of demonstrators and removed the Israeli flag above the ambassador's residence. A member of the National Assembly for Change, Taqdom Khatib, said the flag was removed after scuffles between demonstrators and security forces. He added the goal of the demonstration is to send a message to the Israeli ambassador of the Egyptians anger. The protesters demand Israel sends a formal apology for the border incident in which six Egyptian soldiers were killed. Security forces imposed a security barricade around the house of the ambassador and closed some of the roads surrounding to preserve the security of the area.
