                   Israel Intercepts Missile Fired from Egypt

   Israel has shot down a rocket fired from Egypt toward the Red Sea town
   of Eilat, days after militants blamed Israel for airstrikes that killed
   four fighters in the Sinai Peninsula.
   The Israeli army says it intercepted the rocket early Tuesday, but did
   not give details on where the rocket originated. It says no one was
   injured.
   An Islamist militant group says it fired the rocket in retaliation for
   what it called a cross-border attack Friday by Israel.
   Israel has denied the accusation, while Egypt says its forces were
   responsible for firing a missile at militants.
   The northern Sinai region has seen an increase in militant activity
   since the 2011 popular uprising that forced former President Hosni
   Mubarak from office, and again following the ouster of President
   Mohamed Morsi last month.
