A group of about 30 protesters broke into the Israeli Embassy in Cairo Friday and dumped hundreds of documents out of the windows, Egyptian and Israeli officials said. Meanwhile, the U.S. president spoke with Israel’s prime minister about the situation.
Hundreds of protesters had been converging on the embassy throughout the afternoon and into the night, tearing down large sections of a security wall outside the 21-story building housing the embassy. Egyptian security forces made no attempt for hours to intervene.
