Terrorists fired two Grad-type rockets at the city of Eilat on
Wednesday night, according to a report on Kol Yisrael radio.
One of the rockets exploded in a construction zone located in a
residential neighborhood in the city. Security forces were conducting
searches in the area to locate the second rocket. There were no
reports of physical injuries or damages.
It is unknown as of yet exactly from the rockets were fired, but
officials said it is highly likely they were fired from the Sinai
Peninsula.
Shortly after midnight (local time), residents of Eilat reported
hearing several loud explosions in the city. Police forces began
searching the area in an attempt to locate the source of the
explosions.
In August of 2010, five Katyusha rockets hit the city of Eilat. Two
exploded in open areas and three fell into the sea. No injuries were
reported.
Rockets were also fired at Eilat in April of 2010. One landed in the
sea, and one hit the Jordanian city of Aqaba. (IsraelNationalNews ©
