A large Egyptian army contingent deployed on Thursday night around the Israeli
Consulate in Alexandria after hundreds of protesters gathered there and called
on Egyptians to join in a “third intifada” against Israel, Israel Radio

Organizers of the protest in the country’s second-largest city
called on fellow Egyptians to join the Palestinians in a renewed armed struggle
against Israel.

he fell ill and died in the Egyptian city of Damanhour.
