Sirens blare repeatedly as at least two rockets launched from Sinai
[IsraelTimes] Two rockets were launched at Israel from the Sinai region of Egypt, the Israeli military said early Tuesday morning as alarms rang out in Israeli communities near the border at least five times throughout the night.There were no reports of injuries or damage from either rocket, the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement. Rocket sirens blared in the Eshkol region near the borders with the Gazoo Strip and the Sinai Peninsula before 2 a.m. Tuesday morning. They went off again an hour later as second rocket was launched. It was not immediately clear if either missile landed in Israeli territory, the army said. Sirens sounded a third time at 4:15 a.m., again at 4:50 a.m and again just after 5 a.m. There were no immediate details from the army on possible additional attacks. Terrorists in Sinai affiliated with the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... occasionally attack Israel, though they have mostly focused on battling Egyptian forces as part of an Islamist insurgency.
It was not immediately clear if there had been launches in Sinai that were not directed at Israel, but were instead part of internal Egyptian fighting. The spokesperson added that the incident was being investigated to determine what caused the malfunction. Posted by: trailing wife 2017-12-05 |
