Israel Bombs Gaza; Closure Threatens Power Plant 
-------------------------------------------------


 
Israeli forces have bombed the Gaza Strip for the second time in three
days. The latest strikes came after Palestinian militants fired rockets
into southern Israel, causing no damage. Israel has also cut off its
lone commercial crossing into Gaza, stopping the import of critical fuel
for Gaza's lone power plant. Palestinians say the plant will again be
forced to shut down unless the crossing reopens today.
