Egypt likely to succeed in reducing Hamas-Israeli tensions - Report

Egyptian diplomatic efforts are "likely to succeed" in reducing tensions between Hamas and Israel, Al Jazeera reported on Thursday. 

The Israeli military confirmed that two rockets were fired towards central Israel on Thursday evening, with at least two loud explosions heard in the Gush Dan region. 

According to the IDF, although the Iron Dome missile defense system was activated, there were no interceptions as both rockets fell in open territory. 

IDF Spokesman Brig.-Gen. Ronen Manelis said that the military still does not know who fired the rockets and both PIJ and Hamas later denied reports that it was responsible, saying that it did not play a role in the launching of the rockets.
