Rockets
Egyptian officials were concerned the firing of the rockets could sabotage their mediation efforts. "Launching rockets is negative and leads nowhere," said Col. Burhan Hamad, head of an Egyptian security delegation.
Israeli press reports on Friday said Egypt has threatened to cut off relations with Hamas unless it halts its attacks on Israel. Jerusalem Post reported that the Egyptian Intelligence Chief General Omar Suleiman has sent a "tough" message to Hamas leaders, warning them against the rocket attacks.
