Terror Attack: Anti-Tank Missile Fired At Bus

 Because nothing says “We deserve a state” like firing an anti-tank missile at a school bus!

16-year boy was critically injured after a bus driving near the Sha’ar Hanegev Regional Council was hit, apparently by an anti-tank missile, fired from the Gaza Strip on Thursday. 

The bus was hit in the rear, causing its windows to shatter. The victims were apparently inside the bus. Rescue forces were quick to arrive on the scene to evacuate the victims, and the roads were immediately blocked for fear of additional attacks.

According to Ha’aretz, defense ministry officials believe the bus was hit by a mortar bomb, the boy was 13, and the bus driver was moderately hurt by shrapnel wounds in his leg. The JPost reports that the boy was struck in his head by shrapnel from the missile.

 Meanwhile, here’s another reason to give palestinians a state.

One-third of Palestinians support the attack in Itamar in March, in which an Israeli family of five was murdered while 63 percent opposed it, according to a Hebrew University poll released on Wednesday.
