Rockets strike Jordan and Israel

Tel Aviv, 05 Aug-(ANA)-One man has been killed and three other people injured when a rocket landed in the Jordanian port city of Aqaba, reports say.

According to Israeli police, the rocket was targeted at the nearby Israeli resort of Eilat and was one of at least five fired from Egypt's Sinai desert.

Egypt has denied that its territory was used to launch the apparent attack.

Rocket attacks on Israel usually come from Gaza and it is rare for such an attack to come from the Sinai desert. (ANA)
