Israel's Iron Dome intercepts two rockets fired by Sinai militants

Israel’s Iron Dome intercepted two out of three rockets fired on the southern city of Eilat from Sinai early Tuesday, local media reported. The third rocket fell in a deserted area around 1am local time. No casualties or damages were reported. Sinai militant group Ansar Beit al-Maqdis claimed responsibility for the attack, according to Ahram Online. The attack was allegedly in retaliation for Israel’s Friday air strike in northern Sinai which killed five militants.
