JERUSALEM - Five rockets exploded Monday morning near Israeli Red Sea coastal city of Eilat, with no damages and casualties reported, local daily Haaretz reported.

The rockets hit sea and an open area of the city, the report said.

Israeli Defense Forces did not give any details at the moment.

Israel's prime minister issued a stern warning Sunday to Gaza's Hamas after a weekend of rocket attacks from the Palestinian territory on Israeli communities.

Benjamin Netanyahu told his Cabinet that Israel holds the Islamic militant group responsible for the rare flare-up in violence and would retaliate for any attack against its people.
