By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 3:04 PM on 11th September 2011 An attack on the Israeli embassy in the Egyptian capital Cairo that left three people dead and up to 1,000 injured was condemned by world leaders yesterday. A mob have broken into the embassy and dumped documents out of the windows as hundreds more demonstrated outside, prompting the ambassador and his family to leave the country. The unrest was a further worsening of already deteriorating ties between Israel and post-Hosni Mubarak Egypt. Yesterday David Cameron said he strongly condemned the attack, while the United States urged Egypt to protect the embassy.
