They both involve taking someone else's work, but while copyright infringement means you just take it, plagiarism means you take it and pass it off as your own. It is possible to plagiarize without violating copyright laws, just as it is possible to violate copyright laws without plagiarism.

Does Plagiarism entail violation of intellectual property laws?

Not always. Plagiarism is making a false claim that you created something original. If you copied a public domain source, it is not a copyright infringement, but still plagiarism.

That is plagiarism, not copyright infringement.
