Egypt has called on Israel and Palestine to end hostilities and adhere to the ceasefire brokered following the 11-day war last May.
In a statement released on Sunday, Egyptian officials asked Israel not to respond to rocket fire from Gaza Strip that landed off the coast of Tel Aviv on Saturday, the Times of Israel reported.
Meanwhile, Israeli officials claimed that the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group was responsible for the rocket fire and not Gaza’s rulers, Hamas, according to a report released by Israeli media.
The report also mentioned that Hamas had conveyed to Israel through Egypt that it was not responsible for the rocket strike.
On the other hand, armed factions in Gaza blamed Saturday’s rocket fire on "weather conditions" and said it was not an intentional act against Israel.
