Iron Dome intercepts 3-4 rockets fired at Eilat from Sinai

At least three were caused by Iron Dome batteries which intercepted all the estimated three or four incoming rockets fired from Egyptian Sinai. It would not be the first time that Islamist terrorists have launched rockets against Israel’s southernmost town. The town’s center was not struck; nor were there casualties.
