JTA - The ISIS terror organization claimed accountability for firing two missiles from the Sinai Peninsula at an Israeli border crossing, adding that the Israeli militia had retaliated with airstrikes.
The lengthy-latitude Grad rockets fired Monday had been geared toward a crossing on the Israel-Egypt border, however landed in Egypt. The Islamic State has claimed in the past that it fired rockets at Israel from the Sinai.
Rocket alert sirens sounded in southern Israel on Monday, even though no rockets had been found to have landed in Israeli territory.
The Islamic State, or ISIS, spoke of late Wednesday that the Israel defense Forces spoke back to its missiles with the strikes on an ISIS position within the Sinai. The IDF doesn't respond to such statements.
In recent years, Israel has allowed Egypt to ship further infantry battalions into the Sinai Peninsula to battle Islamist terrorists. under the terms of the 1979 Israel-Egypt peace treaty, Egypt need to ask Israel for authorization before sending troops into the Sinai, which is meant to stay demilitarized.
