A few days after Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak threatened to cut power and fuel supplies to Gaza in retaliation for rocket attacks from the terrorist-infested strip, a missile barrage slammed into the Negev town of Sderot.

Conflicting reports had Arabs from PLO/PA chief Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah faction and Arabs from the Palestine Islamic Jihad group claiming credit for the nine Kassams that fell as Israelis were headed for work Thursday morning.

No one was injured in the attacks even though a number of rockets hit populated areas.

Observers watched with interest to see if Barak's sanctions would be implemented as threatened.

As of press time there was no sign such a response would be forthcoming anytime soon.

Cowed by international pressure, the Olmert government has until now proven itself unable to stop the almost daily rocket attacks against its people.
