Egyptian forces fired on Morsi supporters as they attempted to march on a pro-military rally in Cairo’s Tahrir Square. Overall, at least 268 people were wounded in clashes nationwide. More than 400 supporters of Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood were reportedly detained. The violence fell on the 40th anniversary of Egypt’s war to reclaim the Sinai Peninsula from Israel.
