DEBKAfile, At Leaast 4 Israeli Civilians Injured In Qassam Rocket Attack on Sderot

DEBKAfile, Political Analysis, Espionage, Terrorism, Security:
How about this for an idea: Israel announces that for every Qassam fired at Israel, Israel cuts off electricity and water to the Gaza Strip for one hour. and for every Israeli injured, they lose it for one day. How soon would it take for the Qassam's to stop, or for Hamas to fall or call for international forces to secure its order region? there will be UN and leftist condemnations, ut how much will the Western world really care? The only reason Israel is providing these essentials to Gaza at this point is becuase Egypt doesn't want to further contaminate its society by contact with Hamasastan. However, the Egyptians do nothing to stem the flow of deadly weapons to the Gaza Strip, so why should Israel make it easy on Egypt or the Palestinians?

"The missile from Gaza exploded Thursday on a residential street causing also heavy damage to property. In a press briefing, a senior Israel officer offered a pessimistic outlook for the population living around the Gaza Strip, which suffers an average of two or three missiles a day. Hamas, he said, has procured its first Katyusha rockets, Sagger anti-tank and anti-air missiles and many tons of explosive materials. The Philadelphi strip bordering on Egyptian Sinai is wide open for the transit of war materiel."
