Credit: Reuters/Ibraheem Abu Mustafa By Nidal al-Mughrabi GAZA | Thu Apr 7, 2011 11:11am EDT GAZA (Reuters) - An anti-tank missile fired from Gaza hit an Israeli school bus on Thursday, wounding two people, and Israeli forces retaliated by shelling the territory, killing a 50-year-old man, Palestinian medics said. A teenage boy aboard the bus was seriously wounded, and at least eight people including a 4-year-old girl were injured in the densely populated Gaza Strip by the Israeli response, which included tank, warplane and helicopter fire. An Israeli F-16 warplane bombed a major security compound of the Islamist Hamas group which rules Gaza, rocking Gaza City with a big explosion and wounding at least one person there. The Israeli military said 45 rockets and mortars were launched into Israeli territory from Gaza in the space of three hours, the heaviest fire in two weeks. There were no immediate reports of further Israeli casualties as a result. An Israeli helicopter gunship machine-gunned a target in Gaza for the first time since the January 2009 war and fired a missile at some targets in the center of the coastal territory. Palestinian sources said militants in the enclave fired back at the helicopter with a heavy machine-gun. Israeli police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld said those wounded in the bus attack were being treated at the scene. The head of the Magen David Adom ambulance service told Israel Radio that helicopters were ferrying the worst injured to hospital. He said the military had confirmed that the bus, taking pupils home from school, was hit by an anti-tank missile. Video showed the blast badly damaged the bus, particularly the rear whose windows were blown out. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak issued a statement saying he had ordered the military to "swiftly take all the necessary steps and respond to the attack" and that Israel held Hamas responsible for all events taking place in the enclave. The missile attack followed a relative lull in cross-border attacks between Gaza and Israel after a sudden rise in violence last month in which at least 16 Palestinians were killed. Israel and Hamas had signaled readiness to return to a de facto ceasefire which has kept the border relatively quiet since the end of the December 2008-January 2009 Gaza war.
