    Around 2,000 protesters broke away from a mass demonstration Friday in central Tahrir Square — which was demanding ousted president Hosni Mubarak and his family be put on trial for alleged corruption — to march on the embassy on the other side of the Nile River.

    Chanting slogans against Israel, they have been stopped at a military checkpoint that kept them away from the embassy entrance.

    Earlier Friday, Israeli aircraft and ground forces struck Gaza, killing four Hamas militants and five civilians in retaliation for a Palestinian rocket attack on an Israeli school bus the day before.
