In a vehicular terror attack today, a terrorist rammed his large flatbed truck into a group of soldiers just after they stepped off a bus at the Armon Hanatziv promenade, killing four and injuring at least 16, some of them seriously. The injured were evacuated to Hadassah hospital and Shaarei Tzedek hospital.
EMS organizations declared this an MCI (Multi Causality Incident) response due to the number of reported victims, 15 or more. The first MDA report from the scene stated at least 15 victims with various levels of injuries, some being in serious/critical condition.

With the scene being declared a mass casualty incident, ZAKA volunteers arrived within minutes to help treat the multiple injuries, alongside the other emergency forces.

ZAKA Jerusalem commander Bentzi Oering: “This is a very difficult attack. I arrived with other ZAKA volunteers and the scene looked like a battlefield. Many injured lay on the grass, some of them were still trapped under the terrorist’s truck.”

URGENT: Public asked to pray for Aviv Bat Anat, another female IDF soldier in serious condition following today’s truck ramming attack.

There were people there as well as other soldiers that were scared to shoot.
