Israeli embassy in Cairo under siege

“Just when the Palestinians in Gaza thought they were facing this new Israeli attacks alone 
and with their backs against the wall, they found out they forgot, over the years, 
that they had brothers in Egypt who are willing not only to accompany them in their struggle against Israel but to protect their backs as well”

Thousands of Egyptians marched from the square to the Israeli Embassy, 
demanding that the current military government end diplomatic relations with Israel 
in wake of the recent assault on Gaza by the IDF.
Israel claims that a school bus was attacked with a mortar round this week 
and it was necessary for the army to respond with tanks, helicopters, rockets 
and a step-up of the nightly bombing campaign that has gone on for months.
Skeptics doubt Israel’s claim of an attack from Gaza, 
citing Israel’s propensity for fabricating threats and the bizarre choice of weapons.
