One Israeli citizen was killed and 35 others were injured when a truck rammed into a bus stop near a military base in central Israel on Sunday, local media reported.
The incident occurred outside the Glilot military base, located north of Tel Aviv. This base is a major intelligence facility housing the headquarters of Israel's Mossad spy agency, as well as the army’s Unit 8200, responsible for intelligence gathering.
Israel’s ambulance service, Magen David Adom, confirmed that one man succumbed to critical injuries, while at least 35 others were injured in the attack.
Among the injured, 10 are reported to be in serious condition, according to the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth.
Israeli police confirmed that the truck driver was shot dead at the scene by civilians. Maariv daily identified the driver as Rami Nator, a resident of Qalansawe, an Arab town in central Israel.
Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances of the attack. The Glilot base, known for its intelligence operations, also hosts a military intelligence school, making it a highly sensitive area.
