(Ha'aretz) Ze'ev Schiff - On Sunday, after Palestinians fired a Kassam rocket from Gaza that landed not far from an Israel Electric Corporation power plant south of Ashkelon, Israel told the PA that it planned to shut off power for two hours in the early hours of Monday morning, as a warning of things to come if the rocket fire did not stop. Implementation was postponed to give the main Palestinian hospital in Gaza time to purchase emergency generators. Five Palestinian rockets struck Israel Tuesday, one at an army base. The Red Dawn warning system in Sderot went off twice Tuesday evening, sending the town's residents scurrying for shelter.
