Egypt's South Sinai Governor Mohamed Abdulfadeel Shosha confirmed on Monday the impossibility of firing Grad-type rockets towards Israel from Egyptian territories, Xinhua reported.
Abdulfadeel denied in statements that Grad-type rockets slammed into Jordanian city of Aqaba and the Israeli Red Sea costal city of Eilat were launched from the Egyptian territories.
"No observations of abnormal movements were detected in Sinai when policemen searched border area with Israel," Abdulfadeel told Xinhua.
Earlier in the day, Israeli media reported that five rockets were fired at Israeli Red Sea coastal city of Eilat.
The rockets hit sea and open areas near the city, as well as Jordanian territories, local daily Ha'aretz quoted Israeli security forces as saying, adding that the rockets were apparently launched from Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.
