Two rockets fired across Egyptian boarder at Israeli resort city


Today, two rockets were fired from Egypt to the town of Eilat in Israel. Surprisingly, there were no causalities and no damage. Although there was no damage done, the Mujahedeen Shura Council, an extremist group, has taken responsibility for the rockets. Not only has the group taken responsibility for this attack, but also it has taken responsibility for previous attacks in Israel—specifically along the Gaza Strip. These attacks have been more prevalent since 2011 when Egypt’s former president, Hosni Mubarak was ousted. Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was told of the reports and is taking matters to deal with it; however, he was out of the country at this time.
