A Kassam rocket fired by Muslim Arabs in Gaza slammed into the ground not far from an Israeli kindergarten in Sderot Sunday.

Five residents of the Negev town - which has been pounded with thousands of missiles over the years as Israel-hating Arabs seek to kill Jewish civilians - were treated for shock following the attack.

While the Olmert government fumbles for a way to stop the rockets, and Gaza's Arabs proclaim their imminent victory over Sderot, the residents of that town have vowed not to leave.

Hundreds of Sderotians and citizens of other towns near Gaza, demonstrated outside the Prime Minister's Office in Jerusalem Sunday, calling for effective action against the terrorists and for steps to be taken to better defend the Israelis.

A special ministerial forum Sunday gave the green light for 8,000 homes in the Gaza area to be fortified against Kassam attack.

Israeli officials continue to debate the pros and cons of sending the IDF into Gaza in force.
