Israeli media say rocket explodes in southern Israel, near Gaza border
At least one rocket has struck and exploded in southern Israel near the border with the blockaded Palestinian coastal sliver of Gaza Strip.
The projectile landed on Friday afternoon in an open area at the Eshkol Regional Council, close to the Israeli-Egyptian border, causing code-red sirens to sound in communities in the area.
There were no reports of injuries or damage.
The Israeli military believes that the rocket was fired from Egypt’s violence-plagued Sinai Peninsula and not from the Gaza Strip.
The rocket fire comes only two days after Takfiri militants launched a series of bombings, using advanced weapons, against military checkpoints in the Sinai Peninsula.
Egypt called for aerial assistance, with Cairo claiming its fighter jets killed at least 100 terrorists and destroyed 20 vehicles used by the militants in the attacks.
The Egyptian military views the Sinai Peninsula as a sanctuary for militants.
