The attacker has been identified as an Israeli-Arab. Israeli officials are investigating the incident as a terror attack.

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.

…

Civilians who were on-scene had shot at the truck driver and thwarted him, Israel Police reported.  

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. Israeli media later reported that the attacker was an Israeli-Arab from Qalansawe in central Israel. 

…

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.”

Hamas has claimed responsibility for the attack.

Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was a “natural response” to Israel’s actions in “Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem.”

The incident follows several other attacks in Israel just in the past few days.
