Terrorists fired at least one rocket at Israel's southern resort city
of Eilat Wednesday night. Reports of 3 large explosions had security
forces canvassing the city. The remnants of a grad rocket were
eventually found on a residential construction site. A military source
confirmed that the IDF had no concrete information suggesting Eilat
was in immediate danger of rocket fire. Security forces continued to
search for traces of more rockets, thought to have been fired toward
the city from the Sinai Peninsula. The IDF has been on high alert
across the Israel-Egypt border following several attempts to mount
terror attacks in the sector. Still, the police said that so far, no
special security orders have been issued for residents and tourists.
Following the Grad attack on Eilat, the IDF is considering deploying
an Iron Dome battery down south to protect the city. No injuries or
damage were reported.
