[Ynet News] Roni Sofer - Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter warned Sunday that 250,000 Israelis will be subjected to a "war of attrition" should Ashkelon and other nearby communities also fall under the threat of Palestinian rocket fire. "We must...deal with the problem of Sderot if we do not want to face the same problem when Ashkelon, Ofakim and Netivot will enter the cycle of rocket fire and terror," he said during the weekly cabinet meeting. "Kassam rocket attacks are being carried out daily and we have also seen an increase in mortar fire directed at IDF bases outside Gaza," Dichter said.
