The Islamic State group said on Thursday that it was responsible for rocket fire on the Israeli resort of Eilat from Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.
"Thanks to God alone, a military platoon fired several Grad rockets yesterday" towards Eilat, the jihadists' Egyptian affiliate said in a statement circulated on social media.
The Israeli army said Wednesday evening's rocket fire did not cause any casualties.
Three rockets were intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome air defence system and a fourth fell short of the town.
IS has waged a deadly insurgency against Egyptian security forces in the Sinai but attacks on Israel from Egyptian territory are rare. Agencies
