The rocket attacks from Gaza, the terrorist attack in Sinai which was stopped by the IDF from coming into Israel, all stem from the change in the balance of power since Mubarak's ouster.

The Egyptians, under Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, have refused to take responsibility for their sovereign territory.
