Israeli army says eight soldiers wounded in car-ramming attack
by Naharnet Newsdesk 24 July 2025, 17:17 The Israeli army said eight soldiers were wounded on Thursday when a driver deliberately rammed his car into a bus stop in what police called a "terror attack". The army said two soldiers were "moderately injured" and six "lightly injured" in the attack at the Beit Lid junction near Kfar Yona in central Israel. "The soldiers were evacuated to a hospital to receive medical treatment and their families have been notified," it said in a statement. There has been a spate of violence in Israel and the occupied West Bank since the start of the war against Hamas in Gaza, triggered by the Palestinian militants' attack on October 7, 2023. A teenager died in March this year when police said a car driven by a Palestinian man deliberately ploughed into civilians at a bus stop in northern Israel. One witness to Thursday's ramming said the driver cut her off the road near Kfar Yona, then "turned his wheel to the right, full gas, as fast as he could, and hit as many people as he could". Kineret Hanuka, 45, told AFP: "I saw only blood and heard them screaming: 'It hurts!'... It was so hard for me to see this." Israel's Magen David Adom (MDA) first responders said they received a report at 9:25 am (0625 GMT) that a vehicle had crashed into a bus stop near Kfar Yona. They said that the wounded had chest, limb and head injuries. Israeli police spokesman Dedan Elsdunne described the incident as a "terror attack, where a terrorist rammed his vehicle into individuals who were standing here waiting to catch the bus". "He (the attacker) then attempted to flee. He abandoned his vehicle and fled from that location. We had large police forces who immediately arrived here, set up a perimeter so that we can locate this individual." The car was later recovered and the driver is being hunted using helicopters, motorbikes and a specialist dog unit, police added. The site of the crash was cordoned off as forensic investigators combed the scene, AFP journalists reported. In Israel, at least 32 people, including soldiers, have died in attacks by Palestinians since the start of the Gaza war, according to an AFP tally based on official figures. In the West Bank, occupied by Israel since 1967, at least 960 Palestinians, including many fighters but also civilians, have been killed by Israeli soldiers or settlers, according to Palestinian Authority figures. At the same time, at least 36 Israelis, including civilians and soldiers, have been killed in Palestinian attacks or during Israeli military operations, Israeli figures showed.

Eight injured in car-ramming terror attack in Israel
KFAR YONA: Israeli police are searching for a driver who deliberately rammed his car into a bus stop, injuring eight people in what authorities called a 'terror attack.' Witnesses described a horrifying scene as the driver accelerated into pedestrians waiting for transport. One eyewitness, Kineret Hanuka, 45, told AFP: 'I saw only blood and heard them screaming: 'It hurts!'... It was so hard for me to see this.' The attack occurred at 9:25 am local time near the central town of Kfar Yona. Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency responders confirmed two victims in their 20s were hospitalised in moderate condition with chest and limb injuries. Three others suffered mild to moderate head and limb wounds, while three more had minor injuries. Police spokesman Dedan Elsdunne stated: 'This was a terror attack, where a terrorist rammed his vehicle into individuals who were standing here waiting to catch the bus.' The suspect fled on foot after abandoning his vehicle, prompting a large-scale manhunt involving helicopters, motorbikes, and K-9 units. Forensic teams cordoned off the crash site as investigators collected evidence. The incident follows escalating violence in Israel and the occupied West Bank since the 2023 Gaza conflict began. In March, a Palestinian driver killed a teenager in a similar attack at a northern Israeli bus stop. According to AFP data, at least 32 Israelis have died in Palestinian attacks, while Palestinian Authority figures report over 950 Palestinian fatalities in the West Bank. – AFP
