More than 30 people were wounded on Sunday in a suspected terrorist attack near Glilot, north of Tel Aviv.
According to initial reports, a truck rammed into a large group of people standing at a bus stop. The Magen David Adom emergency service reported that medical personnel were treating multiple people at the scene, some of whom were trapped.
Twenty-one people were evacuated to Beilinson and Ichilov hospitals, according to MDA, including six in serious condition, six in moderate condition and the rest in in mild condition.
Channel 14 military correspondent Hallel Biton Rosen reported that 33 people were wounded, with five of them in serious condition, six in moderate condition and 22 in mild condition. He said that there were people still trapped at the scene. Additionally, four people were being treated for anxiety.
Home Front Command rescue teams were deployed to help free victims trapped under the truck.
MDA personnel received a report at 10:08 a.m. of a truck hitting a bus stop on Aharon Yariv Boulevard in Ramat Hasharon.
A large police force was converging on the scene, and it was reported that police believe it was a terror attack. According to initial reports, the driver exited the truck outside a sensitive security base in Glilot with a knife and was shot by armed bystanders.
Highway 5 westbound was closed to traffic at the Kfar HaYarok interchange, police said, and drivers were asked to use alternate routes and to avoid the area.
The Glilot area is home to Mossad headquarters and several IDF intelligence units, including the elite Unit 8200, which Hezbollah has targeted several times over the past year.
Israel is also holding a national day of mourning for the victims of the Hamas-led attack of Oct. 7, 2023 and there were reportedly fears that terrorists could take advantage of the date.
