Dozens injured after truck hits bus stop in central Israel One dead, dozens injured after truck hits Israel bus stop
(about 4 hours later)
The emergency services say they are treating dozens of casualties One dead and dozens hurt as truck hits bus stop in Israel
Dozens of people are reported to be injured after a truck hit a bus stop near an Israeli military base in what is suspected to be a deliberate attack. A man has died and 33 more have been injured after a truck hit a bus stop near an Israeli military base north of Tel Aviv, in what authorities are investigating as a suspected terror attack.
At least six people are in a serious condition and others remain trapped under wreckage at the scene in Glilot, just north of Tel Aviv. "A truck hit dozens of people who had disembarked at a bus stop. Eight of the wounded were trapped under the truck and others were lying and walking near it,” a medic for Israel's Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency service said.
Police say the circumstances of the incident are still under investigation. Many of the injured were reportedly pensioners on a day trip to a nearby museum.
But local reports say armed civilians in the area shot and "neutralised" the driver of the truck after he deliberately rammed into people. The driver of the truck, named as Rami Natur, an Arab Israeli from the town of Qalansawe in central Israel, was shot dead by a civilian at the scene.
Israeli television channels showed police cordoning off the area as emergency personnel helped the injured and a helicopter hovered above. The emergency services treated dozens of casualties
"At 10:08 AM, a report was received in MDA's 101 Emergency Call Center in the Yarkon Region of a truck hitting a bus stop on Aharon Yariv Boulevard in Ramat Hasharon. Emergency services were called to the Glilot Junction around 10:00 local time (08:00 GMT) on Sunday following reports of a truck ramming.
"MDA EMTs and Paramedics are currently providing medical treatment on site to dozens of casualties," Israel’s emergency services said in a statement. Yechiel Ben Moshe told the Ynet website: "We were a group of retirees going to Glilot to visit a museum and listen to a lecture."
A spokesman for Israel’s ambulance service quoted by Israeli newspaper Haaretz said many of the injured were elderly citizens who had disembarked from a bus ahead of a visit to the nearby Israel Defense Forces (IDF) base in Glilot. "The bus parked, and people got off. A truck came from behind and I heard a huge noise from the truck.
"It drove toward us to run us over."
"Around me, everyone was injured and bleeding, and others were in shock. It looked like an accident at first, but then shots were fired at the terrorist."
Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who is responsible for the police, called for the family of the suspected attacker to be deported from Israel.
Israel is already fighting its enemies on multiple fronts in Gaza and Lebanon.
But this attack raises a different question: how to keep its people safe from attackers already inside Israel, who use vehicles as weapons.
