Egypt rumbles over Israeli killing at border

Demonstrator who took down the Israeli flag

Thousands of Egyptians have rallied outside the Israeli embassy in Cairo for a second day over the deaths of five Egyptian policemen.
One demonstrator climbed the building, took down the Israeli flag and replaced it with an Egyptian flag.
Israel earlier expressed "regrets" over the incident on Thursday.
It happened on the Israeli-Egyptian border as Israeli troops pursued suspected militants who had fired shots into Israel, killing eight.
In response, Israel has carried out a series of air strikes on targets in the Gaza Strip, killing at least 15 people.
Palestinian militants have fired more than 20 rockets into Israel since Saturday night.
The Cairo-based Arab League is to hold a meeting on Sunday to discuss the crisis.
In the latest violence, a rocket killed one person and injured at least four in the Israeli city of Beersheba on Saturday.
Israeli sources identified it as a Grad rocket, adding that two children were slightly injured when Grads hit another town, Ofakim.
Hamas militants confirmed they had fired Grad missiles at Ofakim, in retaliation for Israeli attacks, AFP news agency reports. There was no immediate comment on the Beersheba attack.
More than 1,000 Egyptians protested outside the Israeli embassy late on Saturday night.
They demanded the immediate expulsion of the Israeli envoy from the country.
Military police stood outside the embassy, but did not intervene when one protester pulled down the Israeli flag.
The protests continued as Cairo was considering its ambassador from Israel.
Earlier on Saturday, Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak said he "regrets" the deaths of police officers on the Sinai Peninsula.
Without confirming Israeli forces had killed the policemen, Mr Barak said he had ordered a joint inquiry to be held with the Egyptian army.
But the Egyptian government said Israel's response so far had not been enough.
