Gaza Missile Hits Israeli School Bus

(Washington Post) Joel Greenberg - An anti-tank missile fired from Gaza hit a school bus in southern Israel on Thursday, critically wounding a teenage boy. A military spokesman said the bus had been struck by an advanced Russian-made Kornet anti-tank missile fired from about two miles away. Hamas, which rules Gaza, asserted responsibility for the attack. The Israeli army said that 45 mortar rounds and rockets landed in Israel during the exchanges of fire that followed the bus attack. Prime Minister Netanyahu, on a visit to Germany, said, "We have no intention of absorbing attacks that no country would accept."
