In a statement, an official at Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon, where the two brothers seriously injured in the Sderot attack earlier Saturday night were being treated, said that the condition of the eight year old continues to be difficult. The youth was injured in his legs, and the spokesperson, Dr. Emil Chai, said there was a danger that they might have to be amputated. Doctors are working hard to save his legs. The other youth injured in the attack, who is 19, is now out of danger, Dr. Chai said.

Sderot residents are planning to march on the Knesset Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office on Sunday, and say they will not leave until Olmert authorizes a wide-scale land attack in Gaza to root out the terrorists. The government's weekly cabinet meeting takes place on Sunday morning.
