Concern in Eilat: shooting at any moment from Sinai • radical Salafi organization claimed responsibility

Rocket this morning (Wednesday) at Eilat, and the fact that a week ago an Iron Dome was placed in the city, puts pressure on the city residents and thousands of vacationers who come at this time of year.

It is not yet known why the Iron Dome could not intercept the rocket, although she recognized them.

Eilat police chief, Commander Ron Gartner said after the attack: "The city continues to be conducted as routine and normal. Eilat should learn to live with the situation at hand. Alert system allows reaching safely to the protected spaces." Gartner said that the shelters will remain open.

Egyptian officials initially tried during this morning and early afternoon, to claim that the shooting was made from Sinai, a ridiculous claim, in light of the distances and possible locations, and in light of the terrorism nest which has developed recently in the Sinai region, with the kind assistance of international terrorist organizations and Bedouin residents of Sinai.

Later, the Egyptians announced that they scan the border areas and tighten control on them. They also called for representatives of the Bedouin tribes to keep an eye on suspicious movements in the region.

In the afternoon, announced the organization Council 'Al Shura - Mujahideen' that they are taking on the responsibility for the attack. Statement issued by the organization claimed that they sent two Grad rockets at Eilat in response to the IDF's spin demonstrators protesting the death of a Palestinian prisoner, "their intention, apparently, elimination of two terrorists who threw a Molotov cocktail at an IDF position near Einav a few weeks ago.

This is a radical Salafi organization, operating in both Gaza and Sinai, and is also responsible for firing rockets at Israel during the visit of U.S. President Barack Obama.
