Daniel Viflic, who was hit by an anti-tank missile fired at a school bus in the Negev 10 days ago has died of his wounds. The 16-year-old has been fighting for his life in the Soroka University Medical Center in Beersheba since the terror attack. His condition deteriorated last week. President Shimon Peres visited the southern communities last week and met with Zion Yemini, the driver of the school bus. "I really love him, and I couldn't understand how it was that I couldn't grab him and throw him clear of the bus," Yemini said.

Viplic sustained serious brain damage as a result of the terror attack which ignited a round of escalation in the south.
More than 120 rockets and mortar shells were fired from Gaza after the attack.
