At least 120 people have been injured after Egyptian security forces fired tear gas and rubber coated steel bullets at pro-Palestinian protesters who tried to storm the Israeli embassy in Cairo.
There have been widespread protests on the anniversary of what Palestinians call Nakba – the day Israel declared itself an independent state.
