... and today Monday 5-1-2009 there's another action at the same place in front of the US embassy in Awkar.. as i am writing now, the police is also assaulting the demonstrators. the US embassy in Awkar was always a scene of harsh confrontations between the Left and the security forces. in 2003 a large protest against the US invasion of Iraq was brutally oppressed by the police. in 2006 too, the embassy witnessed large protests organized by Leftists, nationalists and Islamic forces against the Israeli war on Lebanon..

مواجهات عنيفة بين القوى اليسارية وقوى الامن في محيط السفارة الاميركية في عوكر و في التفاصيل و حسبما أفاد مندوب الوكالة الوطنية للاعلام ان المعتصمين تجمعوا قبل ظهر اليوم في تظاهرة في ساحة عوكر إحتجاجا على ما يجري في غزة، وحاولوا إجتياز الشريط الشائك امام مبنى السفارة الأميركية في عوكر مما ادّى الى اشتباكات عنيفة بينهم وبين القوى الامنية التي عملت على إستعمال خراطيم المياه والغاز المسيل للدموع لتفريق المتظاهرين.
