Two rockets were launched from Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula toward Israel’s southern Eshkol regional council. No injuries or damage were reported, as both rockets exploded in an open area. The attack comes just one day after the Islamic State released a statement in which it claimed that an Israeli unmanned aerial vehicle attacked a car in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, in which members of the Sinai branch of the extreme Muslim organization were traveling, killing four of them. The statement further stated that the four militants were on their way to a location, where they planned to fire rockets toward the Jewish state. The airstrike was carried out in the area of Rafah, which is located near Egypt’s border with the Gaza Strip. This is not the first time that the Islamic State has Israel of operating against objectives belonging to the extreme Muslim organization in the Sinai Peninsula.
