However, Egypt's Higher Military Council rejected his resignation, al-Arabiya network reported. Some 4,000 people demonstrated outside the Israeli Embassy in Cairo on Friday evening, tore down the wall set up to defend the diplomats, removed the Israeli flag from the building and clashed with security forces. Three protestors were killed and more than 1,000 were injured. Friday's protests were not just against Israel, but also against the Military Council controlling Egypt.
