Eli Bin, the director-general of the Magen David Adom emergency response organization, reported that paramedics attended to multiple injuries at the scene.
The critically injured victim is a 17-year-old girl, as confirmed by MDA.
The assailant, a 52-year-old Palestinian from Jenin, attempted to escape in his vehicle but was fatally shot near Gan Shmuel after colliding with a police patrol car.
Israel Police spokesperson Aryeh Doron informed the Channel 12 news outlet that “following the car-ramming at the bus stop, the terrorist drove a few hundred meters further, colliding with both an officer and his vehicle.”
It has also come to light that the assailant was residing illegally in Israel while married to an Arab citizen of the Jewish State.
Paramedic Avi Cohen stated, “We arrived at a chaotic scene where many were agitated after a vehicle struck multiple pedestrians.
“We immediately began administering medical help to all the injured, including stopping bleeding and applying bandages, transporting them to ambulances and mobile intensive care units, and swiftly evacuating them to Hillel Yaffe Medical Center in Hadera,” Cohen elaborated.
Hamas issued a statement regarding the incident, asserting that the attack was a “natural, heroic response to the severe aggression and continuous crimes” perpetrated by Israel.
This most recent attack follows an incident on February 20th, when explosives were discovered on five buses in Bat Yam and Holon, south of Tel Aviv, which authorities deemed “an attempt to carry out a series of terrorist attacks resulting in mass casualties.” Fortunately, no injuries were reported from those explosives.
