An Egyptian intelligence official says that Egypt spoke with Israelis and warned that “something big” was about to happen, without elaborating, AP has reported.
“We have warned them an explosion of the situation is coming, and very soon, and it would be big. But they underestimated such warnings,” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
According to the official, Israeli officials were focused on the occupied West Bank and downplayed any threats from Gaza.
