Jordan says rocket fired from Lebanon lands outside Amman

The Jordanian army says a grad rocket from southern Lebanon fell this evening in an uninhabited desert area near Muwaqqar, a town southeast of Amman.

No people were hurt in the attack and there was no damage, it says in a statement.

Muwaqqar is about 160 kilometers (100 miles) from the Lebanese border.

Earlier, the Israel Defense Forces said a missile fired from Lebanon landed in the West Bank near Jerusalem, marking what appeared to be the deepest rocket fire carried out by Hezbollah since intense fighting began earlier this month.
