Israel May Cut Gaza Power, Water in Response to Palestinian Rocket Attacks
[AFP] Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Haim Ramon on Tuesday threatened to cut electricity, water and fuel supplies into Gaza if militants in the Hamas-ruled territory continued to fire rockets into Israel. "We have to draw a line for the Palestinians. We have to make it be known that for any rocket fire, we will cut the supplies of water, electricity and fuel to Gaza for two or three hours." Environment Minister Gideon Ezra, former deputy head of Israel's Shin Bet general security service, said he was also in favor of such a measure. On Monday a Palestinian rocket fired from Gaza exploded near a nursery school in the Israeli town of Sderot.
