One Dead and Dozens Injured after Truck Rammed bus Stop Near Tel Aviv

October 27, 2024

A truck collision near Israel's Glilot military base, north of Tel Aviv, led to a mass casualty event early on Sunday. A truck reportedly struck a bus unloading passengers, injuring several people, some critically. Civilians at the scene reportedly shot the truck driver, who was subsequently neutralised.

Authorities are investigating whether the incident was a traffic accident or a targeted attack, though Hamas later claimed responsibility, calling it a “natural response” to recent events involving Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem.

Video footage captured the aftermath, with rescue workers responding to those injured
or trapped. Magen David Adom, Israel’s emergency medical service, labelled the situation as a "mass casualty event."
