A Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", delegation led by the group’s Gazoo chief Yahya Sinwar left the enclave for Cairo on Thursday for talks with Egyptian officials on a truce with Israel, Hamas officials said.
Egypt has long been the broker between Israel and the terror group that runs Gazoo.
In November it brokered a fragile truce agreement whereby Israel eased its blockade of the Gazoo Strip in exchange for calm.
That agreement has appeared to be under stress in recent days, with Paleostinians launching arson balloons and rockets into Israel and Israeli warplanes striking Hamas targets.

Hamas has said the incendiary balloons were a message to Israel not to hold up the transfer of millions of dollars in Qatar

Hamas front man Fawzi Barhoum said Sinwar "left Gazoo for Cairo at the invitation of the head of the Egyptian intelligence service, Major General Abbas Kamel."
The visit was aimed at discussing "bilateral relations and ways to lessen the suffering of our people," he said in a statement.
A Hamas official said the truce agreement would be discussed.

Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
, a Hamas-allied group backed by Iran, said its head will also attend the meetings.
Israel’s air force carried out air raids early Thursday morning on "a number of terror targets in a Hamas military compound in the northern Gazoo Strip," a military statement said.
It said they were in response to the launching of incendiary and explosive balloons from Gazoo into Israel.
Paleostinian Lions of Islam responded by launching two rockets into southern Israel. The projectiles fell in an open area, and no injuries were reported.
