JERUSALEM - Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s credibility dropped to the lowest level in three years and a majority of Israelis want him to resign, according to a poll published Friday, as troops sealed the West Bank and Gaza Strip amid new warnings of attacks by Palestinian militants.


The closure was imposed for the duration of the Jewish holiday of Purim, which ends Monday. Such closures, routine during holidays, idle thousands of Palestinian laborers with jobs in Israel.

In central Israel, police put up roadblocks Friday. On one highway, officers searched each car amid the heightened warnings of attacks.

The militant Hamas and Islamic Jihad groups have threatened revenge attacks for two Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip in the past week that killed six activists from the groups. On Friday, a homemade rocket fired from Gaza hit a parking lot outside a supermarket in the Israeli border town of Sderot. The rocket damaged several nearby stores, but caused no injuries.
