Israeli Flag Flying in Cairo Again

The Israeli flag is flying above the embassy in Cairo again, a week after it was ripped down in huge protests over the shooting of five Egyptian troops by Israel during a terrorist attack along the border earlier this month. The tensions between the two countries are still high and the Israeli army has beefed up its presence along the frontier, saying it on Monday that it had concrete information of another impending terrorist attack by Palestinians who infiltrated into Egyptian Sinai and were attempting to cross into Israel near the resort town of Eilat. In a similar attack August 18 eight Israelis were killed along with seven of the estimated dozen gunmen.
