Rockets Fired from Egypt Hit Israel
[Rockets Fired

Israel by Daniel
Halper] "Two
major Israeli
newspapers are
reporting that
rockets fired
from Egypt have
hit Israel.
"Terrorists in
the Sinai
Peninsula
launched rockets
into Israel
Friday night,"
reports the
Jerusalem Post.
"The rockets
fell near an
Israeli village
on the southern
border, causing
some damage, but
no injuries."
The Israeli
daily Haaretz
reports,
"Rockets fired
from direction
of Egypt toward
Eshkol Regional
Council."
It appears no
damage was
reported in
connection with
the rocket fire
from Egypt.
Earlier today,
the Egyptian
prime minister
visited Gaza to
express
solidarity with
the Palestinians
there.
This new front
comes a day
after a rocket
landed near Tel
Aviv and on the
same day
Israel's capital
Jerusalem was
the target of
rocket fire.
Those attacks
were courtesy of
Hamas in the
Gaza Strip.
"After Tel Aviv
metropolitan
area, capital
under fire too:
An air raid
siren was
sounded in
Jerusalem and
surrounding
communities
early Friday
evening. After
residents
reported hearing
blast sounds,
security forces
confirmed that
one rocket had
landed in the
Gush Etzion area
near a
Palestinian
village," Ynet
reports.
"There were no
reports of
injuries or
damage. This was
the first air
raid siren
sounded in the
area since the
IDF launched
Operation Pillar
of Defense in
the Gaza Strip.
Air raid sirens
were sounded in
southern
communities
throughout the
day and a
barrage of
missiles hit the
area."
