Two rockets fired from the Egyptian Sinai landed in southern Israel on Monday morning.

The attack caused no injuries or damage.

It came just hours after the Islamic State in Sinai, the local ISIS affiliate, accused Israel of killing several of its members in a drone attack.

The Islamic State in Sinai has launched several attacks on Israel in recent months, most targeting the southern resort town of Eilat.

Israel has been quietly working with Egypt to combat the ISIS presence.

IDF Prepares to Fight ISIS Invaders

How and when will the burgeoning ISIS forces in Sinai act against Israel? For the past year this question has troubled the Israeli intelligence community, which has struggled to provide a satisfactory answer.

The reason it is difficult to get a firm read on the situation is that this particular branch of ISIS is operating in a compartmentalized and largely unorganized manner in a huge open desert with the support of local Bedouin smugglers.

But even without firm intelligence, Israel’s famed Caracal Battalion is gearing up to take on the jihadist horde. Named after a small cat species whose sexes appear the same, Caracal is renowned for fielding both male and female combatants. In fact, some 70 percent of Caracal infantrymen are women, something ISIS reportedly fears.

Worst case scenarios for which the IDF is currently planning include ISIS attacks on the Nitzana and Kerem Shalom border crossings, as well as infiltrations into Israeli border villages.

Such attacks would presumably involve tens of ISIS gunmen, at least, and resemble recent assaults on Egyptian military bases in Sinai, during which dozens of police officers and soldiers have been killed. Like its parent organization in Iraq and Syria, the Sinai branch of ISIS is not interested merely in terrorist-style strikes, but has also attempted to occupy urban areas.

Israel has a fence along much of its border with Egypt, but that would only temporarily stall a determined ISIS assault. For that reason, Caracal, which has long patrolled this border, is today, and for the first time, undergoing intense urban warfare training just like the Paratrooper, Golani and Givati infantry brigades.

The mission is simple. If ISIS forces manage to penetrate an Israeli village, Caracal will strike first and strike hard.

Battalion commander Capt. Ksusha Levin said she will be among those to first greet the most brutal terrorist group in the world on its first visit to Israel. “I do not know when the attack will come,” she told Israel’s Ynet news portal. “We are stronger than the enemy, but we are preparing for worst case and extreme scenarios.”

According to the most recent estimates, ISIS forces in Sinai, which began as a local branch of Al Qaeda, number some 2,000–3,000 men armed with machine guns and advanced anti-tank missiles.

Secret Word Patterns in the Bible ✡ "Before the Eyes of All Israel"

The Lord spoke these words to your entire assembly at the mountain out of the midst of the fire, the cloud, and the opaque darkness, with a great voice. DEUTERONOMY (5:19)   אֶת הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה דִּבֶּר יְ-הֹוָה אֶל כָּל קְהַלְכֶם בָּהָר מִתּוֹךְ הָאֵשׁ הֶעָנָן וְהָעֲרָפֶל קוֹל גָּדוֹל דברים ה:יט et ha-d'-va-reem ha-ay-le di-ber a-do-nai el kol k'-hal-khem ba-har mi-tokh ha-aysh he-a-nan v'-ha-a-ra-fel kol ga-dol

Today's Israel Inspiration The Torah is infused with word patterns which reveal incredible hidden connections between the Bible stories. Ready for a cool example? The word "voice" (קול) appears seven times in the story of Rebecca, Isaac, Jacob and Esau, and seven times in the narrative of the revelation at Sinai in Deuteronomy. Rebecca used a similar style of language to command Jacob to hearken to her voice as Moses used to command the children of Israel to hearken to the voice of God. Can you guess the connection between choosing Jacob over Esau, and the giving of the Torah at Sinai? Find out in a book that will literally astound you with awesome word patterns throughout the Torah, proving that the Torah is a Divine work which no man could have created.
