Jerusalem–Two rockets were fired from Jordan at Israel’s Red Sea resort of Eilat on Thursday but landed in Jordanian territory, apparently without causing any injuries, Israel’s Haaretz newspaper reported on its website.
The Israeli military had no immediate comment.
A senior Jordanian security official says police are investigating a possible rocket attack that damaged a cooling storage house in the Red Sea port of Aqaba.
The official declined to provide other details and spoke on condition of anonymity while the investigation is ongoing.
Government spokesman Nabil Sharif said a loud explosion at the warehouse in Aqaba early Thursday caused material damage but no deaths.
Aqaba is 350 kilometers south of the Jordanian capital.
Israeli media reported two rocket attacks hit Aqaba and Israel’s nearby port Eilat.
The Israeli army says it searched the Eilat area after hearing the reports but found no evidence of anything landing in Israel.
Jordan’s port of Aqaba is adjacent to Eilat, which also borders Egypt’s Sinai peninsula.
Earlier this month, Israel cautioned its citizens not to visit the Sinai, citing information that militants might try to kidnap vacationing Israelis.
Egypt and Israel signed a peace treaty in 1979. Jordan and Israel made peace in 1994.
