An Egyptian security official says 50 members of the opposition Muslim Brotherhood group have been arrested for organizing Gaza protests in Cairo.

The official, who was speaking on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to media, says the arrests today (January 6) followed calls by the outlawed Brotherhood on members and other opposition groups to stage more demonstrations protesting Israel's Gaza offensive.

Anti-Israeli protests have taken place across Egypt since the Jewish state began its Gaza offensive December 27. In some cases, police clashed with protesters and made arrests.

Egypt borders Hamas-ruled Gaza. The militant Palestinian group has ideological ties to the Brotherhood, the country's strongest opposition group.
