One killed, dozens injured in truck ramming at Israeli bus stop | ABS-CBN News
One person was killed and dozens were injured on Sunday (October 27) when a truck struck a bus stop at a major intersection near Tel Aviv in central Israel in what police said they suspected was a terrorist attack. Israeli police said about 40 people were injured to varying degrees, including some seriously, and were taken to nearby hospitals. Ichilov Medical Center in Tel Aviv said one of the victims succumbed to his wounds. Nearly Sheba Medical Center said it treated eight civilians and soldiers. The incident, in which a truck ran into a bus stop close to a military base, took place around 10 am (0800 GMT), police said, noting the driver - who had Israeli citizenship - was "neutralised" by gunfire from a nearby civilian. "This incident is investigated as an attack and that is how it should be investigated. I give full support here to both the police and the citizens who neutralised that person who is an attacker. And I'm saying something very, very simple, that's exactly why we distributed weapons," Israeli Minister of National Security and far-rught leader Itamar Ben-Gvir told reporters when he arrived at the site. Israeli media reported that the driver was an Israeli Arab from Qalansawe in central Israel.
