A Hamas delegation expected to head to Cairo for security talks later Saturday amid Egyptian anger at a deadly raid on an army post near the Gaza border earlier this month, officials from the resistance group said.

"A security team from Gaza will leave for several meetings with Egyptian security," Hamas interior ministry spokesman Ihab al-Ghussein told AFP.

He said that the object was "to coordinate completely on all security issues, including border security and events which happened in Sinai and the Rafah border crossing."

Egypt closed the crossing --- Gaza's only gateway to the outside world that bypasses the Zionist entity -- after the August 5 attack and has since only partially reopened it.

Asked if the Hamas delegation would take part in the Egyptian investigation, Ghussein said they would not be "directly involved" but would coordinate with Egyptian colleagues.

A Hamas official said that the team would travel to Cairo later on Saturday, but did not say for how long.
