Two wounded in anti-tank missile attack on school bus ,one critical!

They won't say whether the injured are children, but there are two people wounded - one seriously and one moderately - as a result of an anti-tank missile hitting a school bus in the Gaza envelope (I'm typing this as I listen - it happened at 3:17 pm Israel time).

The bus was traveling from Kibbutz Saad to Kibbutz Nahal Oz in the Gaza envelope area. Israel Radio is now confirming that the seriously wounded person is a child and is being taken by helicopter to Soroka hospital in Beer Sheva.Israel Radio said it might have been a mortar and not an anti-tank missile. This may be the statistical anomaly that the terrorists scored a direct hit.There was also a kindergarten hit.Police now saying that bus was hit by shrapnel from an 82mm mortar.Local residents now told to take shelter.

I said this a week or so ago, we (Americans, not IBA) ignore this at our own peril.

Obama is going to come down on the wrong side here. The MB in Egypt will have a much easier time now getting things and people into Gaza. Then the poor suffering people of Gaza will ask the UN to impose a Libyan no fly zone over Gaza against those nasty mean Israelis (since, you know, we did it in Libya and now have set a precedence) and Obama, and others, will comply.
