Israeli television channels showed police cordoning off the area as emergency personnel helped the injured and a helicopter hovered above.
“At 10:08 AM, a report was received in MDA’s 101 Emergency Call Center in the Yarkon Region of a truck hitting a bus stop on Aharon Yariv Boulevard in Ramat Hasharon.
“MDA EMTs and Paramedics are currently providing medical treatment on site to dozens of casualties,” Israel’s emergency services said in a statement.
A spokesman for Israel’s ambulance service quoted by Israeli newspaper Haaretz said many of the injured were elderly citizens who had disembarked from a bus ahead of a visit to the nearby Israel Defense Forces (IDF) base in Glilot.
