The attack did not cause injuries. "Palestinian terrorists are exploiting the area west of the border to attack soldiers and Israeli civilians," an army spokeswoman said. "The IDF takes a grave view of this."Security forces located on Tuesday afternoon the remains of two Grad rockets fired at Eilat on Monday evening.Residents reported hearing two loud blasts in the Red Sea city, and police and the IDF spent hours searching for remnants of the projectiles fired from Sinai.Eilat was previously attacked with rockets fired by jihadi terrorists from the Sinai Peninsula in August 2013, when the Iron Dome intercepted a Grad rocket.In April 2013, two rockets landed in Eilat, one of which fell in a residential area and caused minor damage. At the time, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said the terrorists firing the rockets were likely members of a terrorist cell that left Gaza and used Sinai in order to attack Eilat.
