One person died when a truck was rammed by a terrorist attack

The photos show victims trapped under the bumper of a vehicle carrying a heavy load.

Rescue crews described it as an “extremely difficult scene” and the fire department had to free one victim.

“When we arrived, we saw a truck that had hit dozens of people who had gotten off the bus and were standing at the bus stop,” said Elior Yosef of the Magen David Adom emergency service.

“Eight victims were trapped under the truck and several more were lying or walking near the truck.”

The victims, aged between 30 and 82, were taken to seven hospitals along with a man who later died from his injuries.

Most of the injured were passengers who got off the bus on a tour on their way to the museum and to listen to a lecture, while others were injured when a truck hit it.

Asaf Hujah, the owner of a nearby business, told Haaretz that he saw a truck “speeding towards the bus stop and hitting the back of the bus.”

“It was a chaotic scene and I immediately called the police,” he said, adding that the injured driver tried to attack two police officers, responding “so they shot him.”

One guy on board told the newspaper’s passengers that they had gotten off the bus when “all of a sudden, boom – the truck just ran into our people.” Everyone who was outside was injured.”

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir visited the scene along with Police Commissioner Daniel Levy and stated that the incident was considered a terrorist attack.

“This incident is being investigated as a terrorist attack and should be treated as such. I fully support the police and civilians who neutralized the attacker,” Ben-Gvir said.

Levy added that “police are investigating the incident as a terrorist attack, but we are looking in all directions and will make further announcements accordingly.”

The Glilot base is located next to the headquarters of Mossad, Israel’s foreign intelligence agency, and is also home to the Israel Defense Forces’ 8200 signals intelligence unit, the equivalent of Britain’s GCHQ.

The base has been repeatedly targeted by Hezbollah missiles and was also one of the targets of an Iranian missile attack in early October.
