Occupied Jerusalem, August 02 (Saba) - Several blasts have hit the southern Israeli resort city of Eilat in a suspected rocket attack, Israeli army radio reports. Between three and five explosions were heard in Eilat, reports say, according to Qatar News Agency (QNA).

However, one rocket also reportedly hit the nearby Jordanian port of Aqaba, injuring four people.

A Jordanian interior ministry source said four civilians were injured, one seriously, when a rocket hit an hotel area in its port of Aqaba.

There was no word of casualties in the Israeli port of Eilat, police said, but a source at Jordan's interior ministry said four civilians had been injured in its city of Aqaba.

Eilat District Police Commander Moshe Cohen told Israel Radio that his forces were still trying to confirm that five explosions heard in the morning had been caused by shelling.

Two of the suspected rockets or mortar bombs appeared to have landed in the sea, while another struck Aqaba, he said.
