Three strong explosions were heard in the city of Eilat, southern Israel, about twenty minutes after midnight on Wednesday.
The Israel Defense Forces confirmed that the explosions were caused by three rockets fired towards the city.
The explosions were mainly heard in the south of the city, from the shoreline to neighbourhoods in the higher part of the city. Many city residents came out of their houses when they heard the explosions.
The police stated that they had found where the rockets had landed, but that they were continuing to search.
