Israel’s medical service, Magen David Adom (MDA), says emergency workers “evacuated” about 20 “casualties”, including six severely injured, following the truck-ramming at a bus stop in central Israel’s Glilot, just north of Tel Aviv (see post at 08.39 for more details). Many of those injured, according to local reports, were elderly citizens who had disembarked from a bus ahead of a visit to a nearby IDF base in Glilot.

Police said the truck driver rammed his vehicle into a crowd of people at a bus stop, injuring at least 24 people before he was “shot and neutralised”.
