FIVE rockets slammed into the southern Israeli resort of Eilat on Monday but there were no immediate reports of casualties, army radio reported.
Israeli police confirmed that a series of explosions had taken place in Eilat but could not confirm a rocket attack.
"There were a number of explosions heard in and around Eilat," police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld said. "As yet, nothing has been found on the ground," he added.
The radio said at least one of the rockets had landed in the sea.
There were explosions just across the border in Jordan a couple of months back. I suggested at the time that they were from missiles fired from Sinai which overshot. It looks like the shooters have figured out the range. |
