"The most recent escalation began when the military wing of Hamas fired a Kornet antitank missile at the school bus... Hamas said the attack was meant to avenge Israel’s killing of three of the group’s militants on April 2, an act that Hamas said violated an earlier cease-fire."

Erm... so didn't the escalation begin when Israel assassinated three Hamas members in violation of a ceasefire? Their bias towards Israel is ridiculous. Now they're even realigning the spacetime continuum so as to better serve Israel.
