Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis claims responsibility for firing missiles into Israel
2014-01-22
[Egypt Independent] The Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis group on Tuesday grabbed credit for firing two Grad-type missiles towards the city of Eilat in southern Israel.

"Our fight against the enemy in Egypt will not make us forget the first enemy of the nation," was the statement the group posted on social networking sites.

The missiles landed in an empty area near the city of Eilat.

Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis is the group staging the most attacks against the Egyptian army in Sinai. In addition to claiming responsibility for the bombing in Mansoura, it also attempted to assassinate Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim last September.
