Horrific attack on a school bus in New Jersey carrying young children from a Yeshiva: a rock the size of a baseball was hurled at the bus on the NJ Turnpike, smashing a window and fracturing the skull of an 8 year old girl.
The third grader is currently undergoing surgery and in serious condition. The bus was full of children returning from a school trip.
Targeting Jewish children. More of the poison fruit of Islamic Jew hatred.
A nine-year-old girl was seriously injured in the head after a stone was thrown at a school bus traveling on the highway in Bergen County, New Jersey.
The incident occurred as two buses from a haredi school were returning from a class trip. While traveling on the highway, a baseball-size rock was thrown at one of the buses, and the girl, a third-grade student, was severely injured in the head.
The girl suffered a skull injury and was transported by ambulance to a local medical center. Volunteers from the Bergen County Hatzalah organization also arrived at the scene.
The girl now requires surgery. The public is asked to pray for the full recovery of Gila Bracha, the daughter of Michal Ilana.
State Police are investigating; there are no arrests yet.
