The Shaar HaNegev school bus attack was a missile attack on 7 April 2011, in which Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip fired a Kornet laser-guided anti-tank missile over the border at an Israeli school bus, killing a schoolboy.〔(School bus attack may spark Gaza war ), ''The Australian'', 9 April 2011〕 Hamas claimed the bus was traveling on a road used by Israeli military vehicles and it did not know that schoolchildren were on board.〔("Hamas says didn't mean to target Israeli school bus" ). Reuters. 9 April 2011〕 Israel said the yellow color of the bus made it easily identifiable and accused Hamas of "crossing a line."〔 The missile hit the bus after all but one of the children had been dropped off.〔("Teen critically injured in attack on Negev bus" ), Ynet Israel News, 7 April 2011〕 The only remaining passenger, a 16-year-old boy, Daniel Viflic,〔("Daniel Viflic, 16, injured in Hamas bus attack, dies" ), ''Jerusalem Post〕 was critically injured with shrapnel wounds to the head and died from his injuries on 17 April.〔("Teen wounded in Hamas strike on school bus dies" ), ''Haaretz''〕 The driver was lightly injured.〔(Anti-tank missile falls on Negev school bus, injuring two ), ''Jerusalem Post''. 7 April 2011〕〔(IDF chief urges calm in south ), Israel News 8 April 2011〕〔("Israeli boy Daniel Viflic dies after rocket hits bus" ), BBC News 18 April 2011〕〔 Another mortar barrage was timed to coincide with the arrival of the paramedics, which delayed the evacuation. The attack was condemned by the international community. == Background == Hamas claimed that the attack was carried out in retaliation for the killing of three of its leaders on 2–3 April〔("Hamas claims responsibility for missile strike on bus that wounded boy" ), CNN 7 April 2011〕 In the 48 hours prior to the attack, Palestinians had also fired a separate anti-tank missile at an Israeli target. Anti-tank missiles, unlike rockets and mortars, are extremely accurate, and their use requires more skill.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shaar HaNegev school bus attack」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
