and one of those targets, of course, was mohamed daf as we've been talking about. in the meantime, 180 rocket have been fired. 34 of them intercepted by the iron dome. so it's one of the most violent days we've seen, del, 20 palestinians killed according to palestinian medical officials and 120 wounded. >> nick, that being said is there any chance that both side would return to the diplomatic table? >> as is always the case in the middle east, this violence will be followed by some kind of discussion. the question is when that happens. i asked the senior u.s. official in the middle of these negotiations about that, and he predicted that the violence would lance through the weekend into next week and by then both sides would actually get back to the table right now. they're refuse to go talk to each other. but what is happening egyptian officials are speaking to officials from hamas and palestinian officials and separately to israeli officials so there are two tracks. eventually that track will be right back in cairo, but for now the talks seems to be dead. >> nick
