Eilat, Israel’s holiday resort filled with tourists enjoying their summer beach vacation, is now under rocket attack.
This time rockets are not originating from Palestine, but from nearby
Egypt. They hit the southern Israeli resort town overnight. This is the first time Eilat is under such an attack. Five people were slightly injured.
At the same time tweets received from the region say Hamas rejected the ceasefire negotiated by Egypt. Confusing is that Israel said minutes ago the ceasefire was accepted by its government.
Unconfirmed reports place the Hamas leader in Qatar possibly directing the conflict without putting himself in danger.
