One Dead, 36 Wounded, as Truck Rams Bus Stop in Terror Attack
Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was a “natural response” to Israel’s actions in “Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem,” NBC News noted.
A truck driver rammed his vehicle into a crowd of people at a bus stop in central Israel early Sunday, killing one person and injuring at least 36 people – six seriously – before he was “shot and neutralised” by bystanders, police said.
Preliminary police findings showed the rammer also hit a bus that had stopped at the same location near Glilot military base to drop off passengers, the police said in a statement as seen by AP.
A deadly terror attack has just taken place in Israel. A despicable terrorist ran over dozens of Israeli civilians at a bus station with his truck.
