Two days after an airstrike in Gaza killed Zuhir al-Qaisi, the secretary-general of the Popular Resistance Committees, the terror group's spokesman said Egypt had warned of an Israeli attempt on his life.

According to Mujahid, about a month ago top PRC terrorists met with Egyptian intelligence officials - who warned that al-Qaisi's life was in danger. "Despite the warnings, we were not told to halt our activities, but they did stress that we must operate only from Gaza and refrain from using the Sinai Peninsula or other Egyptian-ruled areas (to carry out attacks on Israel)," said the spokesman.

The current round of violence has left 18 Palestinians dead, but Abu Mujahid said that at this stage there were no plans to reach a ceasefire agreement with Israel because "the blood of the fallen in Gaza has yet to dry."

He called upon Egypt to support the Gaza Strip and "save it from aggression."

The IDF said 95 rocket landing sites have been identified since the current round of violence began on Friday. The Iron Dome system intercepted 40 rockets, according to the army.

The IDF has attacked 24 targets in Gaza since Friday.
