The IDF is investigating the circumstances behind the firing of two
rockets that hit the Ovda and Mitzpe Ramon areas over the weekend.
Their remnants were found on Saturday following open area scans. It is
believed that the rockets were fired by a cell from the Sinai
Peninsula several hours before polling stations opened in the second
round of Egypt's presidential elections. Officials say the rockets
were launched after a request by senior leaders of the Muslim
Brotherhood in Egypt. IDF sources have addressed the growing terrorist
activity in Sinai in the past year, linking the phenomenon to elements
in Gaza, but noted Israel's limited intelligence on the region.
