Getting back on topic, it seems I might have to eat my words.
UK radio is currently reporting a shooting incident on tourists near to
Eilat.

Its also reporting they were shot from the Jordanian side of the border

Well, the nearest Israeli hotels are only yards away, of course. Will be
interesting to see the precise details.
Very surprising though, and very untypical of the area.

PS: have just checked. Shooting was at the actual Arava crossing point. The
lone Jordanian gunman was killed by Israeli security. Between 3 & 5 tourists
from Ecuador wounded.
