Jordanian city hit by rockets intended for Eilat

These rockets might have been fired by terrorists in Sinai or within Jordan itself, but landed in Jordan's vicinity instead:
Shortly before 11:00 this morning, two or three explosions were heard in Eilat, and reports of rockets fired from Jordan or the Sinai at the southern port city began to surface. The reports took on various shapes and forms, and nearly every permutation of Kassams and Katyushas fired from Jordan and Sinai towards Eilat was reported until around 1 PM, when the army finally announced that no findings of rocket blasts had been located in the city.

It then began to become clear that rockets had landed in the Jordanian city of Aqaba, adjacent to Eilat. Egypt denied that missiles had been over-shot from its territory, while a Jordanian security source soon announced that the rockets had been under-shot from within Jordanian territory, not reaching their target of Eilat.

An official Jordanian government spokesman said only that an explosion had occurred in a warehouse north of Aqaba, causing damage but no casualties.
What's not mentioned here is whether any terror suspects were sought and/or captured, or whether they'll be pursuing the vermin who tried to pull this act.

The same article also mentions something of concern about Jordan itself:
Israel has been officially at peace with Jordan since 1994, though King Abdullah recently said that his country was better off economically before it signed the peace agreement with Israel. "Our relationship with Israel is at an all-bottom low," he added.
There is still serious anti-semitism in Jordan, and one has to wonder if sooner or later, they'll follow in the footsteps of Turkey and do what to make relations erode.

What's not mentioned in the article is the shaky status of the Hashemite dynasty. Its a Bedouin dictatorship ruling a country that is 70% Palestinian. If it goes, Israel will face three hostile Palestinian entities: Jordan, the PA and Hamastan.
