One person was killed and 33 people were injured when a lorry was driven into a bus stop in northern Tel Aviv on Sunday, Israeli police and a medical service said.
The driver was shot and “neutralised” by bystanders. Six of those injured were in a serious condition and seven in a moderate condition, an Israeli ambulance service said. The Ichilov Medical Centre reported that one person had died. Armed civilians opened fire on the driver. Police have not said if they are treating the ramming as a terrorist attack.
It took place in the Glilot suburb of Tel Aviv, which is home to many of Israel’s most high-profile intelligence units and organisations.
There were reports in Hebrew media that many of the casualties were elderly and were being dropped off on an organised trip when the incident happened.
Paramedic Elior Yosef, who treated patients at the scene, said emergency workers saw "a truck that had struck dozens of people who had alighted from a bus and were standing at the bus stop".
"Eight casualties were trapped under the truck, and a number of further casualties were either lying or walking near the truck," he added.
Hamas and the smaller Islamic Jihad militant group praised the incident as an attack but did not claim responsibility for it.
