Artists are opening an exhibition in front of the Israeli Embassy Friday, where they will paint and draw on the wall recently erected by the Egyptian Government to protect the embassy from potential assaults. Dena Abdel Moniem, one of artists, said that artists will use the wall to express their anger regarding an incident in which an Israeli helicopter pursuing militants near the Egyptian border fired on a Egyptian position, killing six soldiers. Abdel Moniem added that the artists would paint the names of the six soldiers killed in the incident. She added that the artists would be using the wall as a canvas for a week, and a number of art professors from Egyptian universities would participate. Military Police and Central Security Forces deployed near the embassy to confront any potential violence during the “March of Hammers,” the name for the protest adopted by a number of activists on Facebook.
