A well-planned firebomb attack on a bus full of Jewish schoolgirls Tuesday could easily have ended in tragedy, but no news source even reported that it took place, except for the one you are currently reading – Arutz Sheva.

The girls were sixth-graders from a religious school in central Israel.  They were on a bat mitzva tour of the Cave of Machpela in Hevron, a site recognized by the government as an official heritage site, when four terrorists ambushed it with firebombs.

The mother of one of the girls, who was accompanying the trip, told Arutz Sheva that the ambush had been well planned.  She described moments of horror when the firebombs exploded, one after the other, on the bus's windows, east of the Halhoul bridge, as the bus made its way back from Hevron.

"This was a bat mitzva trip that had been approved by the Ministry of Education, which included a visit to Rachel's Tomb.  The buses were bulletproofed and had an armed guard," she said….

No Israeli or foreign news source is known to have reported the incident.  However, incidents involving graffiti by Jewish youths have been receiving front page coverage and government ministers have called for their classification as terror acts.  Apparently influenced by Israeli media and politicians, the United States has also equated the Jewish nationalistic vandalism with terror.

Chananel, the woman's son, whose sister had been on the bus, wrote on Facebook on Tuesday: "Three firebombs exploded on the bus.  It was a direct hit.  The bus was engulfed in flames and the girls and the mothers in the bus screamed, cried, leaned down toward the floor.  There was a smell of burnt plastic.
