Egypt’s army spokesman Ahmed Mohamed Aly denied on Monday that army forces fired life shots at protesters. 

The spokesman added that one of his colleagues is currently being operated on because he received a bullet to the head which indicated that shots came from the top of buildings. 

“The images of dead children which were displayed on one of the Facebook pages of Islamist parities is from the civil war in Syria,” Aly insisted. 

He added that the Egyptian army only attacks its "enemies” and would never kill children.
