Rocket launched from Sinai lands in Eshkol Regional Council
2017-10-16
Congrats, guys, you hit the country you were aiming for.
[Ynet] Residents near Gazoo region report hearing booms after alert sounded; IDF detects two rocket launches from the Sinai Peninsula; one rocket landed on open land, no casualties; IDF continuing to scour area.

The IDF identified two rocket launches from the Sinai Peninsula on Sunday evening after a Code Red alert was sounded in the Eshkol Regional Council near Gazoo.

One of the rockets went kaboom! on open, uninhabited land and was located following the IDF's searches of the area. No casualties were reported. Earlier, residents in the region reported hearing booms after the sirens.

"I hope this isn't the start of a new trend. The IDF needs to stop launches like this even when they originate in Sinai. We won't consent to a return to getting fired on every other week," said head of the Eshkol Regional Council Gadi Yarkoni in response to the rockets launched at his council.

Last week, the IDF destroyed a Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", observation post in retaliation for a rocket launched from the Gazoo Strip earlier in the evening.

Earlier in the day, suspected 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 Death Eaters attacked six checkpoints in the turbulent north of the Sinai Peninsula, killing six soldiers and wounding 37, according to security and hospital officials.
An utterly pathetic update from Ynet at 6:30 a.m. ET:
The Islamic State group (ISIS) grabbed credit Monday for two rockets fired from Sinai at Israel the previous evening, saying the rockets were targeting Israel Air Force planes flying in the area, according to a report on Amaq, the terror organization's official news agency.
