Rocket attacks on Eilat and Aqaba

Rocket attacks on the neighboring cities of Eilat, in Israel, and Aqaba, in Jordan, have been a tactic used by militants from the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas and organizations linked with Al-Qaeda because of the relative ease of launching rocket attacks against these two cities from adjacent desert areas.[1][2] Most of these attacks target Eilat, the last attack on Aqaba was in 2010.
