IAF attacked targets in the Sinai Peninsula Sunday evening in retaliation for 2 rockets fired from there into Israel hours earlier, according a report today in the London-based newspaper Al-Araby Al-Jadeed. The Islamic State in Sinai took responsibility for the shooting. One of the rockets exploded in open space in the Eshkol Regional Council near Gaza and was located following the IDF's searches. The report quotes tribal factions from the area claiming that Israeli jets were seen flying in the skies shortly after the launches. A video filmed in the Gaza region which has recently surfaced purports to show the rockets being launched. According to the report, the IAF jets appeared only once the Egyptian air force completed its own strikes in the areas of Rafah and Sheikh Zuweid in northern Sinai.
