At least three rockets or mortar bombs struck in and around Israel's southern port of Eilat on Monday but caused no casualties, Israel Radio reported, citing initial information received from emergency services.

Israel's Army Radio said five rockets were believed to have been fired, one of them landing inside neighboring Jordan.

An Israeli police spokesman confirmed only that "a number of a explosions were heard around the Eilat area."

There had been no reports of casualties or damage, the spokesman said.

Both Israel Radio and Army Radio said some of the suspected rockets appeared to have overshot their land targets and landed in the Red Sea. The Israeli military, which is responsible for waters off Eilat, said it was investigating.

Edit to add:

At least 4 Jordanians wounded by rocket attack in Aqaba

The Jordanian interior ministry reported that at least four people were wounded by a rocket that landed near Aqaba's Intercontinental Hotel. Jordanian media outlets reported that the rocket has been identified as a Grad rocket.

At least five rockets were fired Monday towards Eilat Gulf. Three of them landed in the Red Sea, and two others landed in open areas near Eilat. Jordan has increased the deployment of security forces in and around the city of Aqaba and has erected checkpoints.
