CAIRO: A group of jihadist fighters said Tuesday they had fired a Grad rocket on the Israeli Red Sea town of Eilat in retaliation for an alleged Israeli air raid. The Mujahideen Shura Council said in a statement published on a jihadist forum its fighters fired the rocket at 1:00 am (2300 GMT Monday). The statement did not say whether the rocket attack caused any damage or injuries. The rocket, fired from the Sinai, was "a quick response to the last crime by the Jews after one of their drones bombed the Sinai peninsula killing four mujahideen" on Friday. Another jihadist group, Egypt's Ansar Beit al-Maqdis which has claimed allegiance to Al-Qaeda and repeated attacks on Israeli targets, has blamed the Jewish state for the Friday strike. The group accused the Egyptian army of coordinating the attack with Israel, and threatened more strikes against the Jewish state. "How can the Egyptian army allow the Zionist unmanned planes to cross into Egyptian territory," the statement asked. Egypt's military has denied the claim.
