"JERUSALEM - Israeli military experts have formulated a plan to gradually cut off electricity and fuel to the Gaza Strip in response to ongoing rocket fire from the Palestinian area, officials said Wednesday.

Israel can expect international condemnation if it moves ahead with the electricity cutoff. When Israel first announced its intentions last month, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon criticized the move in unusually strong terms, saying the step "would be contrary to Israel's obligations toward the civilian population under international humanitarian and human rights law."
