Dozens of people protested in front of the Israeli Embassy in Cairo after Friday prayers, calling on the Egyptian government to expel the Israeli ambassador from the country.

The demonstrators also condemned the killing of an Egyptian security officer and two military soldiers, and the wounding of two others, during an Israeli raid on armed militants along the Egypt-Israel border in Sinai on Thursday.

The protesters could be heard chanting: "People want to end Camp David," "We will keep repeating it a generation after another: we will not recognize Israel," and "Down, down, Israel, get out of the Nile Valley."

...The protesters, demonstrating against the deaths of the six soldiers, waved Palestinian flags and called out, "Israel will be torched" and "Death to Israel".

According to local news reports, the protesters attempted to prevent the Israeli ambassador from entering the premises and demanded his deportation. They also called out, "Jihad, jihad!" and "The army of Mohammed will return", as well as, "We want fire, we want war!" and "The people demand an end to Camp David Accords!"
