Rocket attacks on Eilat and Aqaba

The Israeli Navy conducted a major training exercise off the coast of Eilat in the Red Sea simulating several possible scenarios of terrorist attacks.

Some of the scenarios the navy has been prepared for include the hijacking of a civilian vessel by terrorists, the violation of Israeli waters and a terrorist attack on a navy ship, according to jns.org.

Egypt's army said July 27 it has destroyed 13 more tunnels connecting the Sinai Peninsula to the Gaza Strip, taking to 1,639 the overall number it has laid waste to.
      
Cairo has poured troops into the peninsula to counter a rising insurgency since the ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi last year, and its security operation involves the destruction of these tunnels.
