ISIS claims responsibility for rocket attack on Monday; Israel increases security, closes border crossing into Egypt. Just hours before Israelis begin celebrating Passover, ISIS fired a rocket from the Sinai Peninsula into southern Israel. The rocket landed in the Eshkol region in a greenhouse, a man suffering from shock from the incident. Israeli security forces are on high alert ahead of the holiday with increased
