Now Israel Is Under Rocket Attack From Sinai Peninsula As Well as Gaza

From AP:

JERUSALEM (AP) — Explosions rocked the southern Israeli city of Eilat late Wednesday, and the military said it suspected that rockets were fired from Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. No casualties or damage were reported. 

Eilat is a Red Sea resort next to Sinai, scene of many militant attacks in recent months. On Aug. 5, Sinai militants killed 16 Egyptian soldiers where the borders of Egypt, Israel and Gaza converge. Then they stole Egyptian army vehicles and crashed into Israel, where Israeli forces stopped them with gunfire. 

Eilat has been the target of previous rocket attacks, apparently from Sinai. Israel has expressed concern about extremist Islamists and Palestinian militants from Gaza operating there. 

The military said rockets were apparently fired from Sinai at Eilat. Soldiers searched the area for several hours after the blasts were heard, but no exploded rockets were found. There was no immediate comment from Egypt. 

The Israeli military said its forces would resume their searches Thursday morning.
