At least 14 rockets have landed in the Greater Sderot Area and Ashkelon on Friday morning. Three children are being treated for hysteria in Barzilai Hospital. There are numerous reports of property damage as well. Not having a moment to acclimate to his new post, Sderot Mayor David Buskila has been dealing with the steady stream of rockets since this week�s election. He issued a statement on Friday morning calling on the national government to do what it takes to bring a halt to the attacks originating from northern Gaza. Some of the rockets that landed on Friday morning were Katyusha, not Kassam rockets. Shas leader Deputy Prime Minister Eli Yishai called for cutting off water and electricity to Gaza until the attacks come to a halt. Minister of Religious Services (Shas) Yitzchak Cohen is calling for an urgent cabinet meeting to discuss the current escalation in attacks. In a related matter, the London-based al-Quds al-Arabi quoting senior sources in Gaza reports that Egypt has frozen all talks pertaining to the release of IDF soldier Gilad Shalit until after the elections in Israel, scheduled for February 10th. In addition, there are reports from Gaza stating some feel Defense Minister Ehud Barak may seek to step up responses to attacks before the election to improve his position. This is also a factor they say towards the decision to freeze Shalit talks. (Yechiel Spira � YWN Israel)
