The driver of the truck involved in the recent attack in Glilot, near Herzliya, Israel, has been identified as Rammi Natur, an Arab citizen from Qalansawe. Authorities are investigating the incident as a possible act of Palestinian origin. The Hamas group praised the attack, describing it as part of the Palestinian resistance against "Zionist terror." However, Natur's relatives mentioned that he lost control of the vehicle due to health issues, dismissing intentionality behind the act.
Zachi Heller, spokesman for the Magen David Adom ambulance service, reported that some people were trapped under the truck after it overturned following the collision. According to authorities, at least 30 Palestinians lost their lives as a result of an Israeli bombing in northern Gaza. Aryeh Doron, a police spokesman, confirmed that the driver intentionally directed the vehicle towards the crowd and was subsequently "neutralized."
The truck crashed into a bus that had stopped to let passengers cross, hitting several people in the process. The quick action of some civilians present managed to shoot at the driver, succeeding in stopping him. Four of the injured, in critical condition, were taken to Beilinson and Ichilov hospitals for medical attention. The attack has caused shock amidst the war in the Middle East.
The incident took place in an area close to the country's intelligence facilities, such as the Mossad headquarters. Initial investigations point to the possibility that it is a terrorist attack. More than 40 people were injured, including ten in serious condition, due to the impact of the truck on the group of people at the bus stop.
