2 blasts shake Eilat, authorities search for rockets

Security forces searched the Eilat area on Wednesday night after two powerful blasts rocked the Red Sea resort city.
Eilat residents flooded the police's emergency number after hearing the explosions, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.
Police ground units searched through various parts of the city, and suspect that rockets landed in open areas. No injuries or damages were reported following the explosions.
An IDF spokeswoman said the search was halted by security forces late Wednesday night, and did not definitively confirm that the blasts were caused by rockets.
She added that the search resumed at 6:30 a.m. on Thursday morning.
