Israeli embassy in Egypt attacked

The Israeli embassy in Egypt was attacked last night by a group of Egyptian rebels.  The ambassador and his family had to be evacuated out of the country by military aircraft.  You can read more details about the attack in the following article.

The attack certainly adds to the tension between Israel and her Islamic neighbors.  The rebels who attacked were opposed by the Egyptian government, but the incident highlights the anti-Semitic sentiment prevalent in the region.  This sentiment will continue to grow until major fighting breaks out in the region.
