On October 27, a man was killed and more than 30 other people were wounded in a suspected ramming attack at a bus stop near the Glilot military base to the north of the Israeli city of Tel Aviv.
According to an initial probe by the Israeli Police, a bus had stopped at the station outside the base to drop off passengers. At the same time, a truck rammed into the stop and the people there. The truck driver was later shot and killed by armed civilians in the area.
Police said that they were investigating the incident as a potential “terror attack,” but that the probe into a potential motive is ongoing.
Glilot base is the home of Unit 8200 of the Israeli military’s Intelligence Corps, which is responsible for clandestine operation, collecting signal intelligence, code decryption, counter-intelligence, cyberwarfare, military intelligence, and surveillance.
Initially, the Magen David Adom emergency service reported that 33 were wounded in the suspected ramming attack, with eight of them trapped under the truck when medics arrived on the scene.
The injured included six in serious condition, seven who were moderately wounded, and 20 people who were lightly hurt, according to the service.
Later, Tel Aviv’s Ichilov Medical Center announced that a man had succumbed to wounds sustained from the suspected ramming attack.
The suspected ramming attack was praised by the Hamas Movement and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, as well as by Lebanon’s Hezbollah.
The Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, which has so far claimed the lives of more than 41,000 Palestinians, led to an increase of violence within Israel and in the occupied West Bank. Since the start of the war, more than 40 people, including Israeli soldiers and police officers, have been killed in attacks in Israel and the West Bank.
