Dozens Injured as Truck Hits Bus Stop Near Tel Aviv

Israeli emergency services and police reported that a truck crashed into a bus stop near Tel Aviv on Sunday, injuring multiple people. The incident happened close to the Mossad headquarters and near a major highway junction, coinciding with Israelis returning to work after a weeklong holiday.

Israeli police spokesperson Asi Aharoni informed public broadcaster Kan that the “attacker was neutralized,” indicating police are treating the incident as a deliberate attack, though it remains unclear if the suspect was apprehended or killed.

The Magen David Adom emergency service responded to the crash site on Aharon Yariv Boulevard in Ramat Hasharon at 10:08 am, providing medical care to dozens. Later, at least 16 people were taken to hospitals for further treatment, and police confirmed that several individuals sustained injuries.

Footage from the scene showed police securing the area as medics attended to the injured, with a helicopter providing aerial support. This incident comes as Israel marks the anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attack last year, which led to ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon.
