Israeli teenager dies from bus attack injuries

[oberliner]

JERUSALEM — An Israeli teen-ager who was critically injured by an anti-tank missile fired by Hamas militants at his school bus earlier this month died Sunday, a police spokesman said.

The missile was fired across the border by gunmen in the Gaza Strip at the yellow bus in southern Israel on April 7, injuring the 16-year-old and the driver, and drew a harsh Israeli retaliation over four days of fighting.

Nineteen Palestinians were killed in a series of Israeli ground and air strikes, and Gaza militants fired at least 140 mortars and rockets at southern Israel, causing damage but no injuries.

The fighting has subsided since an informal ceasefire a week ago.

"He died this afternoon from wounds sustained in the attack," said police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld.
