Palestinians protest Egypt’s bloody crackdown

Hundreds of Palestinian Islamists rallied on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City Friday against the interim government in Egypt and its bloody crackdown on supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The crowds chanted in support of ousted president Mohammed Morsi and against Egyptian Defense Minister Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, who they accused collaborating with the US and killing his own people for the sake of the Jews. Demonstrators were likely referring to recent reports that Egyptian authorities had warned Israel of impending terrorist attacks from the Sinai Peninsula, prompting Israel to reportedly launch a drone strike that killed four jihadists.

There were no reports of injuries in the Old City, but Palestinian sources reported several people were injured in similar protests that were dispersed by the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah and Hebron.
