In central Israel, near the Glilot area, a truck rammed into a crowded bus stop on Sunday, leaving more than 35 injured R”L, including many in critical condition. At least 10 people were reported trapped beneath the vehicle as emergency crews scrambled to rescue them.
According to eyewitnesses, after crashing into the bus stop, the truck driver exited the vehicle brandishing a knife, heightening fears of a terror attack. Quick-thinking civilians on the scene intervened and fatally shot the suspect, ending the threat.
United Hatzalah responders were among the first to arrive. EMT Aharon Yaakobson, paramedic Yaron Schiff, and EMTs Eliyah Tubul and Yair Porush described a chaotic and tragic scene, with a truck, bus, and pedestrians all involved. Initial care was administered to over 20 individuals suffering from injuries of varying severity, including those still trapped under the truck.

In short, a terror attack struck Ramat HaSharon in central Israel today. Israel gives them life; they return death. Israel offers jobs; they repay with terror. This is their choice. Should Israel continue hiring those who glorify terror? Would any country tolerate this?
