An Islamic terrorist group has claimed responsibility for firing rockets into Eilat on Wednesday evening.

Police resumed searching for remains of a Grad missile rocket at 6:30am this Thursday morning, after the Salafi Front claimed it had caused the two explosions in the resort.

No injuries or damages were reported after security forces suspected the rockets having been sent from the Sinai Peninsula.

Micky Rosenfeld, spokesman for Israeli police , said that the police emergency number was flooded with residents' calls on Wednesday night.
