More friction between Egypt and Hamas

From Ma'an:
Seven Palestinians being detained in Egypt are due to be deported to the Gaza Strip on Friday, sources at Cairo International Airport said.

The unidentified Palestinians were detained at Cairo International Airport on Wednesday carrying maps of military buildings in Cairo, airport sources told Ma'an.

A security official said Thursday that the Palestinians had entered Egypt through tunnels from Gaza, and that they had visited Syria and received training in Iran.
Gazans spying on Egypt - after being trained in Iran?

There aren't enough details in this report, but the distrust that Egypt has for Hamas seems to be growing, despite Hamas' efforts to calm things down.
