Egyptian report: Egyptian aircraft behind Rafah airstrike

Egyptian news website al-Masrawi reported, based on official sources, that it was an Egyptian aircraft which attacked in Egyptian Rafah earlier on Friday. According to the report, the aircraft tracked movements by militants in the area based on information acquired by Egyptian security services that they have set up a rocket launching platform to be used against Egyptian and Israeli targets.

The sources denied reports that the attacker was an Israeli aircraft, and added that the Egyptian aircraft left the area immediately after the strike, fearing anti-aircraft rockets. (Elior Levy)
