Near the capital of Israel, a truck crashed into a bus stop. Law enforcement officials do not rule out the possibility of a terrorist attack.

According to the publication, there were many people at the bus stop at the time of the collision. Preliminary reports indicate that 16 individuals were injured as a result of the accident, four of whom are in critical condition. Other sources state that 24 individuals sustained injuries.

Media reports indicate that many of the injured are elderly people who arrived by bus to visit a museum.

Escalation in the Middle East

It should be noted that over the past month, Iran and Israel have exchanged significant strikes. On October 1, Iran launched approximately 200 ballistic missiles at Israeli territory. Tehran claimed this was retaliation for the deaths of leaders of the Hezbollah and Hamas groups.

Israel successfully intercepted the Iranian attack, which had minor consequences.

The Israel Defense Forces struck Iran on the night of October 27. The IDF asserts that 20 sites were targeted, all of which were military facilities.

Iran has already threatened that it may respond to the Israeli attack. Tehran claims that the consequences of the bombardment were minimal. However, according to Axios, the Israeli strike paralyzed ballistic missile production in Iran.
