The incident occurred at a protest to voice concerns against the latest round of tensions.

Calls for a ceasefire continue to mount following the escalating attacks.

Egypt and France have expressed deep concern over the issue.

On Monday, the two added their voice for truce to end the violence between Israel and Palestinians in Gaza.
