An Egyptian military court on Monday, 3 Cheshvan, sentenced 73 people found guilty of storming the Israeli Embassy in Cairo in September to probation for six months. That means if they repeat their crime again they will automatically have to serve six months in prison, the al-Aram internet site reported.

Upon hearing the verdict, family members of the defendants broke out in cheers, shouting “The army and the people are one”.
