Thousands of Egyptians protested on Friday in the six different governorates to demand the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador to Egypt, following the killing of six military and security personnel by Israeli military forces at the Egypt-Israel border on 18 August.
In Alexandria, about 300 residents participated in a demonstration outside Leader Ibrahim mosque after Friday prayers, denouncing Israel's actions. The protest then turned into a march, which headed toward the Israeli Consulate in the Kafr Abdu neighborhood.
In Sharm el-Sheikh, hundreds protested for the first time against Israel. They also held banners demanding a serious investigation into the incident and the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador.
In Suez, dozens of Nasserist youths also protested the incident. Hundreds reportedly demonstrated in Qalyubiya and Gharbiya Governorates.
In Cairo, the 25 January Revolution Youth Coalition held its own demonstration. In addition to calling for the Israeli ambassador's expulsion, it called on the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces and the cabinet to reassess Egyptian-Israeli relations, which formally began with the signing of the Camp David Accords in 1979.
The Muslim Brotherhood did not take part in any demonstrations on Friday.
