Perfect: Arab League to ask U.N. for 'No Fly Zone' in Gaza as Hamas Uses Laser-Guided Anti-Tank Missiles on Israeli School Buses

Did you know that over the last several weeks, Hamas' bloodthirsty terrorists have launched dozens of rocket and mortar attacks on Israel including one that targeted a school bus with a laser-guided anti-tank weapon?

Arab League Chief Amr Moussa said the organisation will ask the UN to impose a no-fly zone over Gaza, which Israel has pounded with air strikes in response to rocket fire... "the Arab bloc in the United Nations has been directed to ask for the convention of the Security Council to stop the Israeli aggression on Gaza and impose a no-fly zone."

Israeli and Palestinian officials were on Sunday floating a ceasefire to end fighting in the coastal strip where Israeli air strikes have killed at least 18 people since Thursday.

But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned of an even stronger response if more rockets are fired from the Palestinian territory controlled by the Islamist movement Hamas.

The flare-up came after an anti-tank missile fired from Gaza hit an Israeli school bus on Thursday, wounding two people, one of them critically.

After the outcry, a spokesman for Hamas said that the terrorist attackers didn't realize the school-bus "carried children".

The true details behind the attack on the school-bus are outrageous.

The Kornet missile used by Hamas in the attack has a warhead capable of penetrating the armor of a modern tank. A school bus stood no chance against this advanced weapon. Though it hit the rear of the bus, it injured the driver and young passenger in the front. It was a miracle that the dozens of other children who had disembarked only minutes before were not killed, in what could have been the worst large-scale massacre of Israeli schoolchildren in years.

The targeting of the school bus constitutes a war crime, one that should be condemned by the international community. The attack on a civilian target was undoubtedly a deliberate act. In contrast to the usual mortar and rockets, which are low-tech weapons, an advanced and accurate Kornet missile was deployed. This laser-guided anti-tank missile always hits the specific objective chosen by its operator.

Curiously, news of the school-bus attack hasn't been widely reported by America's doddering dinosaur media, presumably because it further damages what remains of the president's shamble-ridden "legacy" in the Middle East. The executive summary of which will likely be "facilitating the rise of a new Caliphate."
