A second Israeli bus was targeted early Thursday afternoon by unidentified terrorists in a missile strike that scored a direct hit on the road to Eilat less than an hour after a terrorist cell ambushed a bus on Route 12 to the Red Sea resort city, aiming automatic gunfire at the vehicle and wounding seven passengers.
Numerous passengers were allegedly killed in the second attack, which effectively destroyed the Egged bus, sources said -- but it is important to note that the report is unconfirmed at this point.
Security sources said the bus appeared to have been hit by an anti-tank missile, apparently from the Egyptian side of the border, in the Sinai Peninsula. In addition, a military vehicle was struck by a roadside bomb near the security fence along the southern border, sources said.
IDF soldiers who were passengers and police who raced to the scene reportedlyengaged in a firefight with the three terrorists who had attacked the first bus about 30 kilometers, some 12 miles northwest of Eilat. Source: Arutz7
