    16-year-old Daniel Viflic did not regain consciousness. Inbal Guter, a spokeswoman for Soroka Hospital in Beersheba, says he died Sunday.

    The attack on the bus provoked outrage in Israel and unleashed a harsh response in the form of airstrikes against Hamas targets in Gaza. The exchanges of rocket fire and airstrikes threatened to spiral into an all-out conflict before an informal cease-fire restored relative calm.

    The bus dropped off all its passengers except for the teenager minutes before it was hit by the anti-tank rocket from nearby Gaza.

    So Obama, what do you have to say about this death?
    Is there still a peace partner on the other side?

    Obama can you please tell Israel to respond the same way you are responding to terror threats or am I asking to much. Is there a double standard when it comes to Israel Obama?

    Enough!!!

    I’m so sorry. There are no words. May the family be comforted.

    I’m sorry to hear of this loss. I hope the international community wakes up and realizes that these people are senseless murderers. It is one thing to attack another army, its someting completely different to target women and children. This violence will never end with Hamas controlling Gaza. At least the Palestinain Authority makes some attempt to act civilized.
