Some 33 people were wounded to various degrees, with one succumbing to his wounds after a truck rammed into a bus stop near Glilot in central Israel on Sunday, Israeli emergency medical service Magen David Adom (MDA) reported on Sunday.
The Sourasky Medical Center said one of the wounded in the attack, whose condition had deteriorated, was subsequently pronounced dead by medical staff.
The killed victim of the ramming was Bezalel Carmi, 72, from Rishon Lezion, Israeli media reported later on Sunday evening.
Earlier, MDA said that paramedics treated six seriously wounded and seven moderately wounded individuals.
Some 20 individuals who sustained light wounds and four people who suffered from anxiety were being treated by medics, MDA also stated, adding that the majority of casualties were adults.
MDA said it was transferring the wounded to the Sourasky Medical Center, the Rabin Medical Center-Beilinson Campus, the Meir Medical Center, the Laniado Hospital, the Shamir Medical Center, and the Sheba Medical Center.
Civilians who were on-scene had shot at the truck driver and thwarted him, Israel Police reported.
Later on Sunday, Israeli media reports identified the truck driver to be Rami Nasrallah Nator, an Israeli-Arab from Qalansawe who was reportedly known to have a criminal history.
Police noted that according to a preliminary examination, a bus had stopped near a bus stop in the area, after which the truck rammed into the bus and the people who were standing at the bus stop.
Paramedics report from the scene
United Hatzalah volunteer paramedics Aharon Yaakobson, who was nearby and arrived first at the scene, paramedics Yaron Schiff, Eliyah Tubul, and Yair Porush reported, "It was a difficult scene with a truck, a bus, and pedestrians. We provided initial treatment at the scene to over 20 people (at this stage) who sustained varying degrees of injuries.
"Some of them were rescued by fire crews in serious condition after being trapped under the truck. Members of United Hatzalah's Psychotrauma and Crisis Response Unit also provided assistance at the scene to several people who suffered from emotional shock."
Emergency services are currently seeking blood donations to help treat the wounded, according to Channel 12.
An information center for families to locate victims will be opened in the Sourasky Medical Center, which can be contacted by dialing 1255133.
Police stated that large forces were being deployed to the area and asked that drivers divert their routes from the area.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir attended the scene of the attack, according to Israeli media, and was quoted as saying, "This incident is investigated as a terror attack, and that is how it should be investigated. I give full support to the police, to the citizens who neutralized that person who is a terrorist."
