A rocket taking direct aim at Ashkelon, Portland's sister city, was stopped by a new defense mechanism, the Iron Dome anti-missile system by Israel which was now tried out. This all came about after a Palestinian anti-tank missile hit an Israeli school bus which had just let out 40 children at the nearby stop. It injured the school's bus driver and a seriously injured a 16 year old boy. A military spokesman said the bus had been struck by an advanced Russian-made Kornet anti-tank missile fired from about two miles away. Hamas, which rules Gaza, asserted responsibility for the attack. added 4/8/11

Israel responded with an attack using their planes and artillary which killed 3 people. By nightime the attack was over.
