On 27 October 2024, at least one person was killed and 35 others were injured in a truck-ramming attack near the Glilot military base and the Mossad headquarters in Ramat HaSharon, Israel. The driver was killed by armed bystanders.

Attack

The incident occurred at around 10:00 local time at a bus stop in the Glilot Junction on Aharon Yariv Boulevard while a bus was disembarking passengers, most of whom were pensioners heading to a nearby museum. One person died and 40 others were injured, including ten in critical condition. Eight people were found pinned down under the vehicle. The truck driver was shot dead at the scene by a civilian. The driver was later identified as Rami Nasrallah Natour, an Arab Israeli from Qalansawe in Israel's Central District. The company which owned the truck said that Natour had deviated from his set route towards the site of the attack.

Aftermath

Hamas described the incident as a "heroic ramming attack" committed "in response to the crimes committed by the Zionist occupation". The attack was also praised by Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called for Natour's family to be deported from Israel.
