The Hamas official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the delegation would be discussing Israel’s continued violation of the ceasefire agreement.

Egypt, Qatar and the US have been mediating between Hamas and Israel, securing the ceasefire that came into effect last month.

Radical Israeli regime leader Benjamin Netanyahu had claimed the country’s military killed five senior Hamas members on Saturday after a fighter was allegedly sent into Israeli-occupied Gaza territory to attack Israeli soldiers there.

Health officials in Gaza had said Israeli air strikes killed at least 20 people on Saturday.

The rogue Israeli military on Sunday said a local Hamas commander was among those killed in the Saturday strikes.
