Egyptian police arrest 15 students at Cairo University for taking part in anti-Israeli demonstrations.
A security official said on Monday that the detainees were associated with the banned opposition group, the Muslim Brotherhood.
Hundreds of students staged protests in several universities across Egypt on Monday over Israeli plans to build new homes in occupied Palestinian lands in East Jerusalem al-Quds.
The students were also protesting against Israeli plans to name two West Bank Islamic shrines on a list of Israeli heritage sites.
Arrests were reported only on Cairo University campus.
On Friday, police arrested 50 Muslim Brotherhood members who staged similar protest rallies.
Muslim Brotherhood — Egypt's largest opposition movement — indirectly controls almost one-fifth of the seats in parliament. Police regularly arrest members of the Brotherhood.
The Brotherhood, meanwhile, announced on its website that police also arrested 18 of its members in pre-dawn raids on Monday in the coastal city of Alexandria, following what it said were two days of pro-Palestinian demonstrations.
