Egyptian authorities have arrested and referred to military prosecutors at least 186 people for alleged acts of sabotage, rioting and destruction of public facilities in connection with a protest outside the Israeli Embassy near Cairo late Sunday, a military official told state television Monday.

Clashes between security forces and protesters left at least 353 injured, a deputy health minister said. Many of the injured were treated by emergency medical personnel at the scene and never hospitalized, he said.

Six of the injured remained hospitalized Monday, one in critical condition, he said.
The injuries came after Egyptian riot police fired tear gas and live ammunition as several hundred protesters gathered outside the Israeli Embassy in the Cairo suburb of Giza late Sunday.
