IDF Combat Photographer: I Watched a Firebomb Aimed at a School Bus
(Israel Defense Forces) Last week, I was traveling on a road in Samaria. A bus full of children returning from school came down the opposite lane. Suddenly, out of nowhere, I saw a firebomb fly directly at the bus right there in front of me. The firebomb missed the bus, flying right over it, and was now heading towards me! Those few milliseconds felt like an eternity. I stepped on the accelerator and the firebomb landed in a bush a few meters away. This event has become a dangerous routine. Israeli civilians in Judea and Samaria suffer from attacks like this daily, attacks which the media deem insignificant. Terrorists have committed dozens and dozens of firebomb attacks this year.
