Hundreds of protesters gathered before the Israeli embassy in Cairo Friday following prayer services, torched Israeli flags and called on Hamas to attack the Jewish state.
Meanwhile a senior Egyptian official announced that the death toll among security forces following Thursday's deadly terror attacks in Israel had reached six. Israel says the men were killed by the same terror cell that killed eight Israelis Thursday.

The official confirmed that the men were killed battling terrorists. An officer and two soldiers were killed Thursday night while two other soldiers died of their wounds Friday morning, and another was killed Friday in clashes with "unknown persons".
