New information is being reported regarding the miracle, in which IDF soldiers exited a bus that was struck by a Hamas anti-tank rocket moments thereafter.The bus exploded into flames and clearly, the results would have been disastrous had the attack occurred before the soldiers exited the bus. One soldier was unfortunately critically wounded from the rocket attack, a 19-year-old.
IDF commanders were reportedly aware that Hamas was going to target a bus or train, and that is why train service between Ashkelon and Sderot was halted, as there is an area in which the train would be exposed to a Hamas strike. This is also the reason why Route 232, which hugs the Gaza border, was closed to civilian traffic on Monday.
