Egyptian delegation reportedly leaving Gaza in preparation for Israeli counter-response
The delegation of Egyptian security officials currently in the Gaza Strip to mediate a long-term truce is reportedly leaving the Strip ahead of an anticipated Israeli counter-attack to the rockets fired toward Tel Aviv this evening.
Palestinian media reports that Jerusalem sent the delegation an urgent message, telling the Egyptians to leave the coastal enclave before it begins its response.
