Some 33 people were wounded to various degrees, with one succumbing to his wounds after a truck rammed into a bus stop near Glilot in central Israel on Sunday, Israeli emergency medical service Magen David Adom (MDA) reported on Sunday. The Sourasky Medical Center said one of the wounded in the attack, whose condition had deteriorated, was subsequently pronounced dead by medical staff. Earlier, MDA said that paramedics treated six seriously wounded and seven moderately wounded individuals. Some 20 individuals who sustained light wounds and four people who suffered from anxiety were being treated by medics, MDA also stated, adding that the majority of casualties were adults. MDA said it was transferring the wounded to the Sourasky Medical Center, the Rabin Medical Center-Beilinson Campus, the Meir Medical Center, the Laniado Hospital, the Shamir Medical Center, and the Sheba Medical Center. Civilians who were on-scene had shot at the truck driver and thwarted him, Israel Police reported.
PARAMEDICS REPORT FROM THE SCENE United Hatzalah volunteer paramedics Aharon Yaakobson, who was nearby and arrived first at the scene, paramedics Yaron Schiff, Eliyah Tubul, and Yair Porush reported, "It was a difficult scene with a truck, a bus, and pedestrians. We provided initial treatment at the scene to over 20 people (at this stage) who sustained varying degrees of injuries. "Some of them were rescued by fire crews in serious condition after being trapped under the truck. Members of United Hatzalah's Psychotrauma and Crisis Response Unit also provided assistance at the scene to several people who suffered from emotional shock." Emergency services are currently seeking blood donations to help treat the wounded, according to Channel 12. An information center for families to locate victims will be opened in the Sourasky Medical Center, which can be contacted by dialing 1255133. Police stated that large forces were being deployed to the area and asked that drivers divert their routes from the area. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir attended the scene of the attack, according to Israeli media, and was quoted as saying, "This incident is investigated as a terror attack, and that is how it should be investigated. I give full support to the police, to the citizens who neutralized that person who is a terrorist."
Many of the injured were senior citizens who had disembarked from the bus ahead of a day trip to a nearby museum to mark the national memorial day for those killed in the October 7, 2023, Hamas massacre and subsequent war. Hamas put out a statement a short while after the incident, praising the “heroic ramming attack” that was carried out near “Mossad headquarters.” The Glilot area near Herzliya is home to the Mossad headquarters, along with several IDF intelligence units, including the high-profile signals intelligence Unit 8200. Without taking responsibility for the apparent attack, the terror group said that it was “a natural response to the crimes of the Zionist occupation against our Palestinian people in Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem, and its ongoing brutal massacres, especially in the northern Gaza Strip.” Police were probing further details, including the motive of the attack. The owner of the truck company where the driver worked told the Kan public broadcaster that he deviated from his set route and drove towards the area where the attack took place: “He shouldn’t have been there.” But Nasrallah’s brother Muhammad told the Ynet news site that he believed the attack was “not terrorism,” claiming his brother suffered from an unspecified illness, and that the family was not linked “to these things.”
“This was a regular accident. He never did anything bad to anyone in his life,” he said.
