Suspected Car-Ramming Injures 8 at Central Israel Bus Stop

A suspected terrorist car-ramming attack occurred near the entrance to Kfar Yona in central Israel, injuring between six and eight pedestrians waiting at a bus stop. The vehicle, reportedly a Toyota, struck the crowd early Thursday morning, causing moderate injuries to at least two young adults and lighter injuries to several others, all of whom were treated and hospitalized at local medical centers. Emergency responders from Magen David Adom and United Hatzalah provided immediate medical care, while police launched a large-scale manhunt for the driver, who fled the scene on foot after abandoning the vehicle. Helicopters and roadblocks have been deployed in the search for the suspect, though authorities have not disclosed the driver’s identity or motive. The incident has prompted an ongoing investigation by Israeli law enforcement. Eyewitnesses described the scene as chaotic with significant commotion following the attack.
