Israel embassy officials leave Cairo again
Four officials from the Israeli embassy in Cairo returned to Israel yesterday, after a short trip to assess damage at the mission headquarters after it was attacked by protesters, a report said.
The September 9-10 attack on the Israeli embassy in Cairo forced the evacuation of staff including ambassador Yitzhak Levanon.
Crowds smashed through an external security wall, tossed embassy papers from balconies and tore down the Israeli flag. It was the worst incident since Israel set up its mission in Egypt, the first Arab country to sign a peace treaty with the Jewish state in 1979.
