Two rockets fired from Egypt's Sinai Peninsula crashed into the Eshkol region of southern Israel, without causing injury or significant damage, the army said.

Jihadists in the Sinai affiliated to the Islamic State group claimed the last such attack in April.

In August 2013, four Islamists preparing to fire a rocket at Israel were killed in an Egyptian air strike, according to the military in Egypt, one of only two Arab states to have signed a peace treaty with the Jewish state.
