Bomb Explodes on Bus in Israel

A bus driver in Tel Aviv, Israel is being called a hero after he evacuated his bus before a bomb exploded on it.

The driver was informed that a package had been left abandoned on the rear seat and immediately pulled the bus over and ordered everyone out.

Just minutes after they evacuated, the bomb exploded, blowing out the windows on the bus.

Officials say that the force of the blast likely would have killed the driver and all twelve of his passengers, had he not evacuated them.

Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack.
