Doctor: Bus bomb explosive was not big like prior attacks
Jerusalem Post ^ | 11/21/2012 | By BEN HARTMAN

The bomb that exploded in a Tel Aviv bus did not appear to be a large explosive device, head of emergency medicine at Ichilov Hospital said Wednesday, citing the types of injuries as previous terror attacks.

The victims brought to the hospital did not have the same type of shock and shrapnel injuries that were typical of larger terror attacks in the past, Prof. Halperin told The Jerusalem Post.

Of the 21 victims brought to the hospital, the two most seriously wounded are teenagers, Prof. Halperin said, although he noted that none of them had life-threatening injuries.

Of the 21, three remain in surgery and six have already been released. The remainder were lightly wounded.

Probably means that the terrorists, aka Hamas, is unable to sneak in large explosive devices but have found a way to get smaller ones into Israel.

Might even impact the West if it used in Europe/United States.

I believe the Israelis are trying to be very careful about preventing these bombing. So if they fail, it may be bad news for the United States.

As Hamas seeks a truce, there is this story that 140 rockets fell on Israel today (via Jerusalem Post):

Why doesn’t Israel kick the bearded savages out? They’re pretty easy to identify.

Israel tries to be careful, but there are Palestinians who live in Israel.

There maybe Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank that could be responsible as well as Palestinians who live in Israel.

Maybe atom bombs are the solution for parts of the Mideast if what you say is true...

The Jerusalem Post, in another article [Hamas 'blesses' terror attack on Tel Aviv bus]:

Sweet cakes were handed out in celebration in Gaza's main hospital, which has been inundated with wounded from IAF strikes as part of Operation Pillar of Defense. Celebratory gunfire reportedly rang out as news of the [terror bombing of the bus called an attack by Hamas] spread throughout the Strip.

[Maybe Muslims need to sponsor a BLOOD RED font for the internet with their attitude and actions...]

Gee. I guess that makes it alright then.

But at least it will make the Israelis work all the more harder to outsmart the bombmakers.

FoxNews.com has an article that over 1400 rockets have been fired at Israel in the past 8 days. I don't know if that includes the 140 fired today.

Certainly, Hamas is doing their more than fair share of escalating the fighting.

The bombing of the bus is just an additional incident.

Israel is targeting sites that are responsible for the rocket attacks. Hamas is terrorizing and killing Israeli civilians.
