A delegation from the Palestinian Islamic Hamas movement arrived in Egypt on Monday from Gaza Strip, an informed source told Xinhua.

The delegation, which includes four members headed by Mahmoud Al-Zahar, a member of Hamas' politburo, is due to hold talks on Tuesday about Palestinian reconciliation.

The source said that Hamas' delegation arrival came before the arrival of Hamas politburo chief Khaled Meshaal who is scheduled to arrive in Cairo later on Monday to join the delegation.

The delegation is due to hold talks on Tuesday with Egyptian intelligence Chief Omar Suleiman to discuss the latest developments and its effects on the Palestinian talks.

Deposed Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haneya Monday said intense talks between his Islamic movement, Fatah and Egyptian mediators were underway to stop Palestinian feud from deterioration.

The talks aimed at dealing with the aftermaths of deadly clashes between Hamas militants and forces loyal to President Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah in the West Bank which have killed four Hamas fighters, four policemen and a civilian, he said.

Meanwhile, at least four Palestinians were killed Monday morning in clashes with Israeli army in the eastern Gaza city.
