ISRAEL'S Deputy Prime Minister has threatened to cut off water
and power supplies to the besieged Gaza Strip after three Palestinian
missiles exploded in the Israeli town of Sderot.
The homemade Kassam missiles exploded near schools and buses
on Monday as thousands of children were about to start the second
day of the new school year. No one was injured.
"It is inconceivable that we should continue to supply the
residents of the Gaza Strip with electricity, water and fuel,
while the citizens of Israel serve as live targets for their rocket
fire," Deputy Prime Minister Haim Ramon said.

"We need to announce that for every rocket that is fired
at Israel, we'll stop for a designated period of time, two to
three hours, the supply of electricity, fuel and water to the
Gaza Strip."
The Gaza Strip is already suffering from severe privation and
economic collapse following Israel's decision in June to impose
a near-total blockade on its 1.4 million people.
