150 Muslims attack the Christians while praying in Tala

 After 150 Muslims had attacked the Coptic Christians in Ezbet Mrco Tala in the church of the village carrying white weapons, Copts of the village have decided to stay at home till the events come to an end.

Many Coptic Christians were wounded in the attacks after which dozens of Muslim young people have spread in the streets carrying white weapons.
 
The story behind attacking the Church is that Muslims of the village are refusing that Coptic Christians from another village, who have no church in their own village, to come and pray in the church in their village.
 
It's worth mentioning that Christians represent about 10 percent of the village residents.
