The Zionist entity’s vaunted Iron Dome anti-missile system failed to intercept at least two rockets fired from Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. The two rockets hit the occupied Red Sea resort town of Eilat early on Wednesday with no casualties reported. Israeli military sources said the vaunted Iron Dome anti-missile system, which was recently deployed around Eilat, did not engage to intercept the rockets. "We've found two explosion sites in the city, we've also closed off the airport as a precaution," police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told AFP, saying one landed in "an open area close to one of the neighborhoods." He said the sirens had sounded but that there were no initial reports of casualties. "Bomb disposal experts are searching the area," Rosenfeld said. The military spokesman said both rockets had struck open areas. "There were two rockets fired from Sinai, both landed in open spaces," he said. Later on, Israeli website, Haaretz, reported that the airport in Eilat reopened. Egypt denied that rockets were fired from its territories, with senior military official said troops were "investigating" the incident. Hours later, a Salafi group called the Mujahedeen Shura Council posted a statement online saying its militants had "managed to target occupied Eilat with two Grad rockets" without saying where they were fired from. | ||||
