Several rockets have been fired into Red Sea port cities in Israel and Jordan.

A rocket fired from outside Jordanian territory hit a hotel area in the port of Aqaba at 5.45am Irish time killing one person and injuring four others.

Rockets also struck the Israeli Red Sea port of Eilat this morning, but there are no reported injuries.

Israeli police said they suspected a salvo of short-range rockets had been fired from the Egyptian Sinai.
