| [Al Ahram] Israeli troops found the remains on Tuesday of the first rocket to be fired from Egypt since the July 3 overthrow of the Islamist government there, a military official said. Both Israelis and Egyptians reported hearing several kabooms in the southern city of Eilat on Thursday, the day after President Mohammed Mursi was toppled from power in Egypt. Israel detected no signs of any cross-border shooting, but found the remains of a rocket on Tuesday, an official said, speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... An Israeli military front man said the rocket remnant had been discovered in the hills north of Eilat, a resort city on the Red Sea that abuts Egypt to the west and Jordan to the east. The rocket was the first since the latest bout of unrest in Egypt that has put Israel on edge in part because of an increase of Islamist militancy in the Sinai region since an uprising toppled autocratic president Hosni Mubarak ...The former President-for-Life of Egypt, dumped by popular demand in early 2011... in 2011. |
