(Reuters) - Two rockets fired from Egypt's Sinai peninsula struck Israel's Red Sea resort of Eilat on Wednesday, causing no casualties or damage, the Israeli military said, in an attack claimed by Islamist militants.
The incident was likely to fuel Israeli concerns about lawlessness in neighboring Sinai, where militant groups have stepped up their activities since Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's downfall in 2011.
An Israeli military spokeswoman said two rockets were launched from Sinai and both hit open areas. Egypt's military said it formed a "technical committee of specialists" to examine whether the attack was carried out from Egyptian territory.

Spring time for Allah.
A couple of rockets landed in nowhere and did nothing.
OK .. I know ... it's Israel ... but ... This report could be 50 years old ... and no one would know the difference
I guess obama is hoping that the media will keep quiet about morsi giving the nod to this.-—and the media will e complicit.
THIS attack was paid for by US taxpayers through
the lash of Dear Leader’s Caliphate and his Dhimmi Congress.
Second: in Genesis 12:3, God said "I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you".
Third: if you are not interested in news relating to Israel, all you have to do is not click on the post. That easy!
Some people are over protective of the news that they want to see posted on FR and think that nothing should be posted that does not interest them.
Thanks for posting.
Camp David abrogation #12. Take back Sinai.
made an ass of myself.
I didn't mean to denigrate Israel nor our (Christian) alliance with her, rather ... The report (and I confess .. I did not click on it) just seemed so ... go no where.
I guess maybe I'm getting anxious for SOMEthing to happen in life .. now That I approach the November of my years.
Since Clinton (when I got my first computer), I've been given a hard on every week about what was going to happen THIS time ... and ... nothing.
Zero is the same .. never should have been elected, never should (and I contend could) be re-elected, and he plays golf, goes on vacations, S**** ***k, ...
And nothing ever happens.
Flush them all out to sea..
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Like not reporting failed terror attacks in the US. Generally the fail, till they don’t. No country can allow allow their civilian population to be subject to continual rocket attack. BTW, did you know the area these rockets are fired from is the responsibility of the Muntinational Force, of which the US is participant. Under the Peace Accords (the US was a signatory) it was a US obligation, but we turned it over to a “multinational” force.
Yeah, it’s not easy waiting for something, and it’s even harder trying to make or stop something from happening. But that doesn’t prevent the best people in this world from doing what they can.
God bless.
