Rockets Hit Israel and Kills One Person

A civilian person has been killed and three others have been seriously injured in a rocket attack on the Jordanian port city of Aqaba. The Israeli police claim that the rocket attack came from Egypt’s Sinai desert, which is highly unusual as attacks on Jordan normally come from Gaza. Of course Egypt has denied that their land was used to launch the attack. The rocket that fell in Aqaba destroyed two cars as it fell near to the Intercontinental Hotel in the town; it also killed a 51-year-old taxi driver who died as a result of his injuries. According to the BBC’s embedded reporter, Israel has recently warned of militant activity in the area, warning tourists not to visit the area.
