Egyptian protesters shout slogans against Israel during a protest in front of the Israeli Embassy in Cairo, on August 21, 2011. Egypt and Israel sought on Sunday to defuse a diplomatic crisis over the killing of five Egyptian security personnel during an Israeli operation against cross-border raiders, but crowds of Egyptians protested at the Israeli embassy in Cairo overnight. One demonstrator scaled several floors of the high-rise embassy building to tear down the Israeli flag and replace it with an Egyptian one. Photo by Ahmed Asad
