The Palestinian news agency Maan reported a loud explosion in the Egyptian side of Rafah near the Israeli border, in the vicinity of the Kerem Shalom Crossing. An Egyptian army source told the agency that an Israeli aircraft bombed rockets launchers deployed on Thursday in a desert area of the Egyptian Rafah.
According to the source, at least five militants were killed in the bombing. According to Egyptian reports, Sinai militant groups recently decided to launch rockets at Israel, after acquiring various rockets via smuggling routes through the Red Sea. (Elior Levy)
