Story highlights Rocket strikes come on heels of ISIS-claimed attacks in Sinai that killed 17 Egyptian soldiers

Netanyahu blasts U.N. Human Rights Council for vote condemning Israel over 2014 Gaza conflict

Jerusalem (CNN) Two rockets fired from Sinai landed in southern Israel Friday afternoon, the first such attack since last summer.

The rockets, which hit in the Eshkol Regional Council, caused no injuries and did no damage, according to police, but the strikes come at a time of increased tension along the Israel-Egypt border.

Israel closed Road 12 along the Egyptian border in the wake coordinated attacks -- for which ISIS claimed responsibility -- against Egyptian military checkpoints in north Sinai. The attacks Wednesday left 17 Egyptian soldiers dead and 30 injured.
