Other protesters managed to lower the Israeli flag.
The Giza police station next to the Israeli embassy was set on fire. Several police vehicles were also set on fire.
Fierce clashes between protesters and police forces that were rushed to the scene resulted in the huge number of injuries and the three deaths.
