He threw the flag, only recently hung after a protester clambered up the building last month and tore it off, down to the street as thousands of protesters cheered him on.
Last month, protester Ahmed Shehat became a national hero after he climbed up the embassy and replaced its flag with an Egyptian one during a protest denouncing Israel for the deaths of five Egyptian policemen on the border.
The policemen were killed on August 18 as Israeli troops chased militants along the border after a series of ambushes in the Negev desert that killed eight Israelis.
