11. Who started it?

“Gaza: Israeli forces strike after attack on bus”

Taken from: BBC News April 7, 2011

1.

An anti-tank missile fired from the Palestinian territory hit a bus in southern Israel. The bus had

been dropping off schoolchildren and was carrying only one passenger when it was hit. The boy on the

bus was critically injured and the driver was also wounded. The bus attackers used an anti-tank missile.

The military wing of the Islamist Hamas movement said it carried out the bus attack. It said this was a

response to the killing of three Hamas members in Israeli strikes earlier this week. Reports say 45 mortars

were fired from Gaza into Israel.

In return, the Israeli tanks, helicopters and planes struck Gaza. Following the bus attack, an Israeli

plane bombed a compound in northern Gaza belonging to Hamas. Helicopters also machine-gunned a

target in Gaza. Four people were killed and some 35 injured in the Israeli strikes. Hamas leaders are

believed to have gone into hiding in expectation of further Israeli strikes. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin

Netanyahu said Israel would take any action necessary to deter attacks from Gaza.

In one week in March, at least 10 Palestinians - including several civilians and children - were killed by

Israeli attacks. In the same period, militants in Gaza fired more than 80 rockets and mortar shells into

southern Israel. Despite recent calls for calm, neither side seems to be able to stop firing, our

correspondent says. Both say the other started it.
