ISIS affiliate in Egypt claims rocket fire toward Israel
CAIRO - Islamic State's Egypt affiliate, Sinai Province, said on Friday in a statement posted on Twitter by supporters that it had launched three Grad rockets towards "occupied Palestine."
Israeli police said earlier they had found rocket remnants in an open area. No damage or casualties resulted.
An IDF source said the missile was launched from the Sinai Peninsula bordering Israel and Gaza. In statement made earlier Friday, Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu also asserted that the day's rocket attack had emanated from the Sinai region.

Egypt beefs up security at holiday resorts after ISIS murders 50 soldiers and 'takes land' just 250 miles from tourist hot-spots
Security has been tightened up at Egypt's holiday resorts after ISIS killed 50 soldiers in an attack on military bases - just 250 miles from where some 9.5million tourists go every year.
Extra armed guards are protecting Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada in the wake of last Friday's massacre in Tunisia which killed 38 people.
ISIS attacked 15 military bases in Sinai province on Wednesday, killing Egyptian forces in one of the most brazen terror attacks seen in the country for years.

How Egypt lost Sinai long before the ISIS attacks
For years, Israel and the U.S, which also supplied engineering equipment and advisors, begged the Egyptians to act against the tunnels. The Mubarak regime had no special interest in doing so and the Morsi government didn't want to harm its Hamas protégés. No-one was thinking of course about an economic alternative for the local population. The Sissi government, however, wanted to exert pressure on Hamas and it is the first Egyptian leadership to act decisively against the tunnels, destroying some two thousand homes near the border, exploding the entrances and digging deep trenches. Thousands are now homeless and without the income they had from smuggling or "hosting" a tunnel in their basement.
