A group affiliated with Islamic State has said it fired three rockets into Israel from Egypt's Sinai peninsula.
The affiliate, which calls itself Sinai Province, said it had acted in retaliation for what it says is Israeli support for the Egyptian army.
Israel said two rockets landed in the south of the country, causing no casualties or material damage.
At least 17 Egyptian soldiers and 100 IS militants have died in fighting in northern Sinai since Wednesday.
The clashes were triggered by a co-ordinated mass assault of IS militants on the town of Sheikh Zuweid.

” ... 100 IS militants have died ..... “
Just think .... these lucky Muzzies are all having sex with their 72 virgins. Such a bizarre and twisted religion.
Early report on the story but a bit noteworthy that they chased the terrorists with this:
“. The army command in Cairo gave a confirmed death toll of 17 soldiers in a televised statement, and said more than 100 of the jihadists were killed as F16 jets and Apache helicopters were deployed in pursuit. A group linked to Islamic State claimed responsibility. “
I love how even the ISIS group tries to rationalize it, like if Israel weren't supporting the Egyptian army that they wouldn't be for Israel's destruction anymore.
